I’m due in April with my first baby

Every day feels the same in the moment but in reality it isn’t. It’s more like a slowly shifting kaleidoscope - every day is just a little different and your baby is a new version of themselves everyday. Whenever I feel stuck and feel like “I’m going to be pregnant forever!!!… I’ll never sleep again!… The baby will never stop (whatever phase they’re in. Screeching, pulling hair, waking up at 4am everyday, etc.)!” it always ends up passing and I can’t believe I thought I’d never be on the other side of it.

Anddd… build your support network. Seriously. You’re gonna need it. Maybe not at first (or maybe you will at first)… but eventually you’re gonna need some help.
