A couple weeks after giving birth a friend told me, “You’re making this look easy…this is false advertising!”
And she’s right. Becoming a mom – especially the first days when everything is unknown and different, and you’re all exhausted and emotional – isn’t easy. We chose to spend the first 5 days alone, and it was a complete blur yet somehow I remember it vividly.
It wasn’t just about cute newborn pics. It was raw as heck. Emotionally, physically, everything-lly.
