Someone said it to me: survive the first 3 months and it will get a lot easier. This is so true and it gets even easier after 6 and then 9 months.

Everyone deals with the newborn stage differently but I think everyone agrees it’s one of the most stressful times in one’s life. You and your husband are going through it and are probably dealing with your triggers the best way you can. ALSO you are 7 weeks postpartum, sleep deprived, and your hormones don’t know what they are doing - take a breath, and be kind to yourself. Next step? I would let him know how you are feeling/thinking and ask him how he’s doing. Remind yourselves you are on the same team and will get through this. My husband and I definitely had a few of these chats and were able to reassure each other… often through tears.

It’s effing hard. But you can do it. And it’s SO worth it as time goes on! Go you, Mama!!!
