You know those moments when you know you're doing your best but it never feels like that's good enough.

Yeah, that...

It's terrible at first, and even when it physically gets better, the emotional shock of the huge change takes a long time to process. People don't acknowledge that. It's just terrible at first. Do you know Jodi (lj user="leatherfish">? She is another mama who gets it. It helps to talk about it to people who understand and won't judge you or act like you are ungrateful to be overwhelmed and kind of miserable sometimes with a new baby.

Not that I am a parent, but I remember one of my coworkers and his wife being so tired and overwhelmed they called their child "the little bastard" for about 9 months.

Hang in there. *hugs*
