Dear New Mama, Let me start by saying: you will sleep again. Maybe not tonight, maybe not next week. But I promise, you will sleep again. This new mom gig isn't as easy as the books made it seem, is it? Or as natural as that childbirth class made it seem. Or as sweet as your friend made it seem on Facebook this morning. In fact, it is downright hard. Really hard. Really really hard. Once you forgive your friends for lying to you and not telling you how hard it is, let me encourage you.....it does get easier. Way, way easier. And way more fun. I have four kids, and to this day, I say with certainty that my first born's first year was the toughest year of parenting I have ever had. I had four kids in 6 years, so that's kinda saying a lot. Back to you, new mama: God created you specifically to be the mom of your child. No matter what you've read/heard/thought you would do, the absolute best thing to do for that ...
