One of the joys of working my store is telling irreverent stories of the less glamorous side of mothering. It frees up Moms to tell their own war stories. We need you and your groups!!! It's not always so precious or anything what we planned. And sometimes you do have the fleeting feeling of tossing 'em out the window. Thanks for writing such a great article. Amen Ladies!

HA! I planned a natural child birth and to nurse my baby within the first hour. I ended up with drugs, a C-section, and literally not wanting to even look at the boy for almost a day. It sounds terrible, but it's true. I was so overwhelmed, nursing was difficult for a good 3 weeks (and then became simple and painless) and I felt so much physical pain for a good 6 weeks due to the labor/surgery. I think he was about 4 months old before I really felt good emotionally and physically. It was a complete shock to me. I'm a planner, and this was not what I had planned! Birth plan. HA!

I wish I had read it when I had my son two years ago. I assumed so many things and the realities hit me very hard. The feelings of loneliness and isolation were overwhelming and being a bit shy in a community that is very tight nit, I suffered. I am going to save this article as a reference if I have another child. This is such valuable information for new moms. I wish I had read it when I had my son two years ago.
