I read the same page of the same book for like six weeks until I finally realized my brain simply could not ingest new information at that time.

if you get a regular sleepy newborn, you're basically just laying down with a heated lump on you for 95% of the day, then cleaning it and feeding it. if you get a colic baby like I did, it's basically the same except he's screaming not sleeping

@st0nedsuccubus :
A girl from high school messaged me after my kid was born (barely knew this girl) asking me all kinds of personal questions about my unmedicated birth. Recently she posted her due date so I messaged her and asked if she planned to go unmedicated and I got a snarky response about how I didn’t get a cookie for going without an epidural 😭 like my bad girl do whatever you want, but also why interview me lmfaooo

“Of course I still had hobbies!” Literally how. 2 babies, 3 years apart, didn’t really get to even think about hobbies until they were crawling at least. “But all they do is sleep!” Yes. In my arms. In a specific position. Where I can’t move or get up or shift positions because they will wake up. If they manage to stay asleep when I put them down somewhere it’s for 10 minutes maximum

So many lucky moms who got to continue their hobbies, I physically felt ill if I put my kid down (as a ftm) and she never slept (even now she’s only ever got one nap a day if I was lucky)

Tbh, you have to be selfish, you have to take the time, not make it. You literally need to take your own time, otherwise you drown in being a mom

Amie :
I feel like anyone who has time for coloring books as a mom, was BLESSED with a good baby/toddler. I had level 10 Velcro babies with colic and a serious attachment to the lady with the boobs. My husband is an amazing dad and support person who does what he can, but my child only wants ME. And he has the lungs to prove it.

I did watch a lot of TV during the newborn days and listened to some audiobooks. But my brain absolutely did not work correctly so I couldn’t have done a hobby that required any kind of thinking.
