Cheer me up

[Dunnowhatalltheacronymsmean]

I have a beautiful new 8 week old baby who slept for a whole 6 hour chunk last night but have spent most of today feeling miserable and need some cheering up please.

One of my boobs is like a power hose so DD understandably has a preference for the other one, which means my newly saggy boobs are also now massively lopsided.

I had an episiotomy and a 2nd degree tear after 3 hours pushing. Tried sex for the first time since birth last week and had prepared for it to be painful, but it just felt.. cavernous.

I love my baby so much. I know she's worth it, but I miss my old body and I miss sex as was and I wish, like my partner does, I could enjoy her existence without having gone through such a huge physical transformation.

Spend most of awake time clearing up various bodily fluids.

I keep dreaming of a long bath followed by an even longer nap.

Also I want to win the lottery but I keep... not.

You are in the most difficult stages of motherhood now, but things will get easier Let your body rest and heal, don't forget it takes nine months to make the baby so give yourself the time to heal from it. Your breasts are still adjusting their milk supply they will also settle down and soften again in a few months. Don't be so hard on yourself your body has just been through a lot!

As the baby gets bigger you will gradually have more time to yourself. Can someone hold the baby for you while you have a bath and a nap?
