I just finished up Naptime is the New Happy Hour by Stefanie Wilder Taylor.  I read her previous books a few months back.  I admit it.  I enjoy the cynical mommy books.  Makes me feel validated when I happen to have similar thoughts.  This is the quote in the book I was able to relate to most…

“You thought it would be different, right? You thought once the first deliriously draining, sleep-deprived, sex-deprived first year was behind you, you would get back to some semblance of normalcy, right? Not so fast my friend. In fact, let’s all have a good laugh at how delusional we were.”

Seriously.  I thought that it would be hard for a little while, then get easier.  It hasn’t.  It has changed.  But it hasn’t gotten easier.  It’s gotten to be a ton harder in completely different ways.  Yea, I was delusional.

Yup, you’re right! It changes…but it doesn’t get easier. High need babies are in a league of their own!

But don’t you agree that the happy times are SO happy that it makes you kinda forget (or accept) how hard it is? Kinda…sometimes…

Yea…when E is happy, the world is a different place. Definitely makes the difficult times easier!
