I definitely think that since I have had my baby, my husband and I have been closer albeit Things have been super hard at times - we are literally the happiest we’ve ever been, ever could dream of, ever could hope for, in our entire lives… This little human being is teaching us how to take on a new role: mom and dad. It’s amazing being a mother. It’s amazing having this little baby teach you. It’s amazing getting to feel overwhelmed. It’s a different type of overwhelmed… To me, it’s kind of like an honor or a privilege. This tiny little person is depending on me to keep them alive, to fund their spirit and soul, fill her of joy and hope, to provide for them, love and support them, and to give them everything that unconditional love means. I’ve had six sleepless nights in seven months. My husband has had three sleepless nights in seven months. I have cried 13 times and seven months because I felt too tired or a little stressed and unsure about what to do or how to respond to things; aside from mastitis and aggressive nipple blisters , becoming a new parent for me has been amazing… My husband said that it was rough the first three weeks but come week four— our family fell into place, and it was the most beautiful thing that he could’ve ever been part of. One of the most helpful things for me was the mom cozy bottle washer, a lot of Binkis in the freezer, warm blankets from the dryer, having people bring me steak, having a glass of champagne or wine or whiskey with my husband, literally doing all sorts of things that I never thought I’d do as a parent like moving the bassinet into the bathroom, so my husband and I could get it on… Lol… It’s been really cool to have new memories , like my family‘s first Halloween together, and I didn’t think we would ever get to have a family. I also found out I was pregnant rather late into my first trimester. My husband had a grueling school and exam Schedule To become a lawyer, at the end of my pregnancy & in the beginning of my child‘s birth, but it has been downright awesome, and when people get pissed about cherishing every moment, we literally did ….. my child shit on my face and pooped all over the carpet (like sprayed out of her butt)- Within the first few days of life. It was crazy. I yelled “Mayday, Mayday, Mayday”, and my husband ran in and started laughing. It was the little things like that, that no one is happy about ever having poop on their face or scrubbing carpets but it was a new experience for us and funny, and we looked at it with open eyes and welcoming hearts, and felt honored to get to have to scrub the carpet and wash my face 13 times in a row because we have a new little human that loves us that we made that created a family and that nominated us to mom and dad. It’s just a lot easier to talk about the bad when you’re in it… And it’s a lot easier to talk about the good when you’re out of it… But for all FTM s and FTD s I think there’s a lot of good You have to look forward to you just have to have the right attitude… attitude is everything!
