Baby Blues

Whether you have personally experienced these or only read about them in a pregnancy book, they do exist. There are different levels, and at the extreme level a woman can be experiencing postpartum depression.
Don't worry I only have slight baby blues. It's a hormonal thing I'm sure. But after having a baby a woman feels "trapped." You are on someone else's schedule constantly. You have to take your naps (if you are lucky to get one) at certain times, eat cold food because she was hungry just when your meal was ready, sit on the couch for the better part of the day and nurse her for 30 mins at a time just to have her hungry again in an hour and a half. And last but not least my favorite, weigh yourself every morning and wonder why your body hasn't bounced back to it's pre- pregnancy look. Your normal clothes don't fit and your pregnancy clothes make you look frumpy.
Motherhood isn't easy. Men don't get it, at least mine doesn't. 6 months from now life will be easier. Hopefully Hudson will be potty trained by then, Mia will be sleeping through the night and experiencing fun milestones like supporting her head and eating "yummy" baby food. How do "The Stars" make it look so easy? Three words, Nannies and personal trainers. We can't all look like Heidi Klum coming home from the hospital, but if we could I would probably have 4 kids like her too.
To all the mothers out there-WE ARE SUPERSTARS!
