Life with a newborn is full on. I’ve done it twice before, but you forget and I don’t think it gets any easier. You have this beautiful bundle of perfectness and you know you should be happy. And there are moments of happiness and total sheer joy at this little person you have created. But there are also moments of frustration, anxiety and tears.

Aww I can relate to this – it’s something I’m anxious about too – we can only do our best can’t we 🙂 #sundaystars http://www.mamamim.com
Yes and it does get easier! You will be fine 🙂 xx
Oh yes, newborns are hard work and exhausting aren’t they? Thank goodness they are gorgeous.. And that this stage doesn’t last forever! Xx #sundaystars
That’s what I say in the middle of the night to Ava. “It’s a good thing you are so cute” one little smile makes if all worthwhile x
What a beauty but newborns are such hard work, it’s relentless. This will pass before you know it though. Thanks for linking up to #brilliantblogposts
Thanks 🙂 it’s such a beautiful, but relentless time. Trying to cherish the moments! X
Oh I couldn’t agree more with enjoying the night time cuddles. I was exhausted but I love it so much – just us girls. Now my little miss refused to cuddle unless there are raisins or cheese involved!
Hangs raisins and cheese, good choices! You might find she wants them again, my eldest was like this for a bit, but loves cuddles again now 🙂 x
I will pop and have a look! It’s such a lovely time but I forgot how emotionally tiring it is x
I really wish there were such things as blogs when I was a new Mum as I thought I was doing it all wrong. Being able to read other new Mums experiences is invaluable, it’s reassuring to know that you aren’t the only one who feels overwhelmed.
My favourite moments with my two were always those middle of the night feeds, just me and baby. They are the special feeds, with no distractions.
Thank you for writing honest posts that other Mums can certainly realte to.

It was so overwhelming when my little one was a newborn, I suddenly felt terribly unprepared because no-one ever tells you how to cope with this totally dependent litte person and all their needs. I loved most of it though.
Aawww what a cutie! We are not newborns for long – hang onto every second x #ShareWithMe
Lovely post 🙂 I can definitely relate as we’re still getting there with our 4 month old. I’d be so much better at the baby bit this time but it’s another learning curve adjusting to two! I’m just trying to hold onto the amazing parts as this is probably my last baby and it really does go by so quickly – when you look back at it, anyway! #mmwbh
So very totally true. Its the most amazing but terrifyingly intense time of your life isn’t it! Though if you asked me to – I’d still do it all over again! But, if you ask my husband,…. we won’t be!! *sulky face*. Fabulous post – thanks so much for linking up with #sundaystars
I’m right there with you, as you know. It is really hard, and this is the hardest part. But aren’t those smiles wonderful! x x x x
Ahhh look at those smiles at the end just made me so broody! That’s amazing. But yes they are so exhausting and no matter how much you do it I don’t think it gets easier it’s hard at the beginning each child is different and each time is different. Bless. It goes fast those first months while it doesn’t seem like it when you are in it you look back and think where did that go? Big hugs.

This is such a lovely post. Now my daughter is 18 months old I forget what it was like to have a new born. I remember the over whelming tiredness and now really giving myself time to heal after a difficult labour. Enjoy all your newborn cuddles. The time goes so quickly. Thanks for linking up with #SundaysStars and I am sorry it has taken me so long to comment on such a lovely post. Hugs Mrs H xxxx
This is a lovely post. My son is just about to turn three months old and this was a great reminder to enjoy these moments with him. It’s so much easier than it was though. He sleeps now and laughs and smiles when he sees me.
And that after labor tired takes a week to come out of. It’s the worst. Thankfully we get the best from it.
