You’re doing great. No one knows things and wishes that things were different sometimes. If you can take breaks when Kaitlyn is sleeping even if it’s for 30 minutes. Lay on the couch reading a good book or watching something on TV for 30 minutes or an hour depending you can even let Kaitlyn plan the floor while you’re resting a little bit if you need to it’s hard juggling your schedule with kids, but it can be done, as you’ve seen your mom do. You’re doing a great job.

I hope she gets back to sleeping better at night soon for you! My daughter did not and I felt like a zombie for quite awhile!

You’re doing amazing darling! Motherhood is a huge journey! We’re always learning ❤ with my last (3rd) baby I rested properly and just fed and looked after myself and her and breastfeeding was so much easier than with my boys before her ❤

Someone once told me that when they are young and on a good nap schedule, " You feel like you are a slave to the schedule. " Sleep makes everyone feel better!

Every mother and child is different. Trust yourself, it's your child and experience and you need to do whatever works for you. Also week by week things can change and you'll pivot and adapt. You are doing amazing mama! ❤

Having a baby, especially the first one, definitely comes with a large learning curve! It sounds like you’re doing very well with adjusting. It can take quite a while for those hormones levels to go back to normal.

Hi Charity! You’re doing great and I’m sure you a great mother. You definitely have some excellent support from your mother and grandmother. You have a wonderful midwife that has been there for you. Rest when you can and eat healthy. Have a blessed night!

You're doing good. You also look good. DO what works for you. Rest when you can because the more kids you have the less that happens.

You are doing great! My daughter max only woke up 2xs as a newborn. She was on formula. I would put her down around 7, would do a " dream feed" around 11 and she would wake up around 2 and then 5. She would sleep til after 8. We never had the " up all night " as a newborn with her. You are doing so well. Thank you for sharing ❤.

I was getting worried that you didn't mention loving Katelyn until the very end....❤
