LIFE WITH A NEWBORN

ENDLESS CUDDLES & SLEEPLESS NIGHTS

If only life with a newborn was just that.

Looking back as a first time mom the newborn life was so difficult for me. I lacked so much confidence that I failed to trust my own instincts. I placed other “experienced moms” opinions above my own instincts which led to insecurity and constantly doubting myself as a mom. I bought into every pressure imaginable. (You can read more about these false pressures here)

But as each day passed, I started to get a handle on things which increased my confidence as a mom.

LIFE WITH A NEWBORN AS A SECOND TIME MOM

Confident, Experienced, Tired, and Relaxed. I trust my own instincts, I know what works for our family, and that the sleepless nights only last but a moment.

I love being a second time mom no baby blues here! & With every bit of sincerity in my opinion one is much harder than two! But of course I am only 1 month in! haha

My only advice to a first-time mom is to never stop praying, to love your baby with all your might, and to know it gets better. Don’t feed into all of the pressures, trust your instinct and rely on the Lord for every bit of strength and encouragement. I had this verse written everywhere in our home, “Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10 Your body eventually heals, your baby eventually sleeps longer, and you will eventually be able to have your cake and eat it too. ♡
