Feeling down

You're not alone, I've found the last week defeating 🥺

Could’ve written this myself. Very hard newborn, had a good week or so and then shit hit the fan 😭 It’s absolutely horrible but I’m glad it’s not just me. Been feeling like I’m a terrible parent, but good to hear it’s not just us.

I feel like this too!! Finally felt like I’d gotten a handle on things after a growth spurt, and this weather, jabs, and regression has really thrown me (and her!!) and all my little tricks of getting her to settle and sleep out of the window.

I am exhausted!!! Had a massive cry yesterday. But I know that I’ll get through this (I have no choice, really), but it doesn’t make it any less difficult.

I hope you can find 10 minutes this evening to do something for yourself (I’ve just plucked my eyebrows for the first time since she’s been born🫣😂) xx

I’ve cried loads the last two weeks I feel every bit of this!!

We’ve put her in the big car seat now and got rid of the infant carrier as she would scream holly murder - done a little drive earlier snd she was fine, fell asleep. So I think the car sitch may be sorted that was due to discomfort. But fighting the naps! And hating her father! I don’t get a break 😩😩😩. It’s like wrestling a baby alligator. I gave up with fighting her for tonight’s bedtime and put her on our bed and lied next to her ignored the kicks and we both fell asleep. Exhausted!! Then the panic of waking up and having to transfer her!! Came downstairs and cried lol

Yup. Us too. My lo is 17 weeks today! Just as I was starting to enjoy him..boom. Sleep deprivation & grumpy baby! X
