Dear mama with a fresh baby,
Repeat after me...
I do not need to please people to meet my newborn
I do not need to host people over
I can ask for help when I need it
My house can be messy
I don't need to look good for anyone
I need to focus on FEELING good for myself, and my baby
I don't need to rush my workout routine back
I can dress in comfortable loungewear and robes
My uterus takes weeks to shrink
My body needs to store fat to breastfeed
I need to nourish my body to be healthy and heal right
I am not crazy, my hormones are fluctuating
My old clothes will take a while to fit again
My newborn doesn't need to dress in cute clothes every day
My friends may not relate, understand or help, but I can find a new community of woman who can
I can hold my baby through naps, I am not spoiling my baby
I can boost my oxytocin levels with closeness to my baby
I can accept the new temporarily slow days with no schedule
I can follow my intuition, I can do things my way
I can sleep in with my baby to make up for the frequent night wakes
I can take advantage of my baby sleeping all day to take little naps or lay low
I can be grateful for my body and allow it time to heal
I can embrace not knowing what I am doing
I can go with the flow and learn along the way
I can stay away from guides, my baby and I are unique
I can release expectations
I can choose to make good memories out of this stage
I can enjoy this temporarily stage.
