This sounds awful but does anyone else really not enjoy the newborn days? I love my little boy (7 weeks tomorrow so maybe not even classed as newborn anymore?) so much and he is a much wanted addition to our family, but I find myself wishing away the days until he’s a little older.
This is my second little boy and I felt the same with my firstborn. (Doesn’t help that both have had silent reflux). People say to cherish these days but I really don’t like them! All the crying and lack of sleep (both him and me!).
I know I’m very fortunate to have been able to have two happy, healthy boys and that many people would kill to be in my position so please do not think I’m being ungrateful. It’s just so hard and I found last time that after about three or four months I really started enjoying my older more as he was smiling and interacting and generally more settled so we were all more relaxed.
Just looking for reassurance I suppose that I’m not a terrible person for feeling this way?
