Anyone else an emotional postpartum mess? 🥺

I know that when the milk comes in, the hormones are all over the place and it's normal to be emotional and feel low. But MY GOODNESS 😭😭😭 I'm 3 days pp, my milk came in yesterday, and I've been all over the place. I don't think it was this intense with my first!? But now I'm crying over everything, feeling very nostalgic and struggling to process things. I had an amazing birth (sure, the pushing stage was hell, but it was 5mins) and I'm feeling emotional and nostalgic about it. I wish I stopped for a second going into labour and realised - wow, this is it. I'm going to meet my baby soon!! I wish I savoured those first few hours at the birthing centre more, instead of just eating a lot and drinking litres of tea. I love my little boy SO MUCH that that in itself makes me cry!! I changed my toddler's nappy today and burst into tears at how big her bum was compared to my little baby's one. Because they grow up so fast and soon this tough, messy, magical newborn bubble will be over! I love both my kids so so much, I literally freak out about losing either of them for no reason and get a panic attack. I cry because of an app on my phone where I used to record baby movements - this is our last baby so this is it. I found snacks around that we got at the hospital and again, started crying uncontrollably. Anyone else feeling like this and having such strong reactions? 🥺😭
