You are a new mom if...

 Dear New Mom: 


I know you feel as if you are all alone in this game. I know you wonder why other mom's got the secret sauce and you are left with the name brand. 


I get that it feels like a lot. 


IT IS A LOT. 


Others will tell you that the time passes to quickly. Enjoy this moment.  You will miss this.


Maybe. 


Maybe you will miss this. Maybe you will long for the nap traps and the cow mode days. 


You very well might miss this moment right now. 


And guess what?  


We also get to miss moments we do not love. 


We are humans. 


We are not robots. 


We are humans raising humans and that makes this messy. 


It means plans change. It means something that worked yesterdays fails us today. 


I see you.
