@stillbecomingmama: Postpartum is so strange. You can spend the entire day surrounded by people… …and still feel completely alone when the house gets quiet at night. 🥹 During the day, there’s noise. People asking how the baby is doing. Family checking in. Messages on your phone. Things to clean. Things to do. A baby who needs you every second. And then nighttime comes. Everyone goes to sleep. The lights go off. The house gets quiet. And suddenly, all you can hear is your own thoughts. Maybe you’re sitting in the dark feeding your baby. Maybe you’re pumping. Maybe you’re rocking a newborn who refuses to settle. Maybe you’re exhausted but somehow wide awake. And even though you know there are people who love you, it can still feel like you’re the only person in the world who is awake. That’s why seeing all these lights on this app hits differently. 💛 Each one is another mom awake somewhere too. Another mom feeding. Another mom pumping. Another mom rocking. Another mom scrolling in the dark. Another mom trying to make it through one more night. On this app, you can actually see that you aren’t the only one awake. You aren’t the only one feeling lonely. You aren’t the only one wondering if anyone else understands what these nights feel like. Sometimes you don’t need advice. You just need to know someone else is there. So if you’re awake tonight, look at those lights. 🌙 There are moms awake all around you. And even if you can’t see them sitting beside you, they’re right there with you in the middle of the night. 💛 #postpartum #postpartummom #newmom #newbornmom #newmomlife
