But you are not alone. My kids are 4 and I still like them best when they are asleep. This is that part of parenting that is impossible to comprehend unless you’ve been there.

I could not believe how this little thing needed me and only me 24/7. I always make sure new moms know that everyone was in the same boat. No one ever tells you how downright hard being a mom is. It's temporary! It gets way way easier, hold on to that thought. The other good news is that the people who are the most bowled over by the first one usually have the easiest time with the second!

Maybe a year... give it that much? Whenever it is, I hope one of the things you will see about YOU as you exist in your lovely little blog is this: You DO tell it like it is as... and how it IS with you almost always includes something beautiful and true and joyful. After the crying, you always find a way to tell us about the tiniest sliver of good... like snuggling into that delicious slepping baby. :) Jenny, I can’t wait for you to come back and read all your own posts in awhile.

To echo Jill, it gives all of us "non-moms" a peek into what we should expect when we step into the world of motherhood. You are doing the very best you can, and sometimes it's all you can do to get through the day! Hang in there, I know you're doing a great job! :) I can only imagine how you’re feeling, and to echo Dahli, I love your honestly in this post.

And this is why I recommend: Be prepared to just be lazy for awhile, but definitely escape (ON YOUR OWN) whenever possible -- even if it's the middle of the night to go explore the magazine (ice cream) rack at Met Market.

Two different people recommended your blog to me today, as it seems we have similar plights. My son Rowan was born December 17 (also early!), and I'm just now coming to terms with what it really means to be a mom. And hoo boy, it's been tough. But it's also been wonderful, too, so I have to keep reminding myself of that every time I feel as though I'm just a milk truck, and one that couldn't even get a break in all of that recent Seattle snow! Did Tacoma get it as bad as Seattle? Anyway, your son Clark is adorable. In fact, when I had your blog up earlier, my husband asked if a picture of Clark was Rowan, as we have those same blue and brown striped pajamas, too. Both are cuties! Good luck to you. I'll be reading! Hi there. Two different people recommended your blog to me today, as it seems we have similar plights.

Not at all! It's difficult to give up everything even if it is worth it. It's hard to transition. And damn it, sometimes you really just need a Target run! It’s not wrong. Not at all!
