I talked to my therapist about it.
I said my apologies out loud.
And, I think this one might have helped the most, I realized my mom would've forgiven me. She would've told me I was being silly for worrying about those things. And she wouldn't have wanted me to stress or worry about it. I'm sure your dad would want those things for you.

I definitely had some of these feelings. But, it was just different after she was born. My boobs had a job, and that was to feed the baby. It didn't feel sexual. It felt nurturing. It's hard to imagine your brain switching gears like that, but it does. And if it doesn't and you're uncomfortable, you don't have to BF.

It. Gets. So. Much. Better. I remember my grandma visited when M was 5 weeks old. She said "look at this sweet baby. I'll never understand how someone could leave her baby in a dumpster or at the firehouse." And I thought "oh my god. I do. I can totally see that. Is there a firehouse nearby??"
At about 8 weeks everything got so much easier and continued to get easier everyday.

Why should the white kids' opportunity to have this experience and be exposed be more important than the black kids' opportunity to have this experience and be inspired? Seriously.

Omg how scary! I'm so glad you're ok.
I can totally see convincing yourself you're ok. I remember feeling legitimately insane after giving birth. I probably would've believed it if a doctor told me I was pregnant again with a grilled cheese or something.
Enjoy those baby snuggles and take care of yourself!

((Hugs)) Margot has been having a rough time lately, too. Very clingy, waking during the night. She's 8 months, too, and just started a big leap (according get to wonder weeks). 8 months must be a rough time for babies.

I exclusively pump. I had a recurring clogged duct for a few weeks and now my boobs are two totally different sizes. Wtf am I supposed to do with this?? I'm Quasimodo chested. I have one peach and one grapefruit. One cup runneth over and one needs filling.
For the last week or so I've been fighting a clog and bleb on my left boob and I'm so OVER IT. It's seriously making me consider ending my pumping journey. UGH.

I can't believe it. It simultaneously seems like it's been such a long time and such a short time. How are the other new mamas doing? hungrycaterpillarBernadineElsa
