I was terrified of birth and my husband told me this. He was like, time's not linnear, so you've done this already, let your future self pull you through it. And I feel like she did ❤️

ALSO- it’s OK if your future self just validates that it’s hard and that it sucks. I am not looking back at my past self in the newborn trenches and missing that time period. But I want to give my past self a hug and tell her it’s OK that it’s hard!

I love this. Another reframe for me that gives me a quick gratitude check is that there are people who would do anything to be tired/frustrated with these little moments and can’t because they don’t have their babies for whatever reason. Helps me get back into the moment real quick.

My good friend once told me, “pressure is a privilege,” and I can’t unhear it. What a privilege it is to have a life so full.

I don’t think my future self will at all want to go back to the baby stage though. Not at all. Toddlers and later are way better and I have the objective proof in our household.
