Motherhood
(or why I must start wearing makeup)
Puffy/spotty skin … dark rings look like black eyes … unkempt eyebrows … cracked lips … forehead worry lines … vaguely yellow skin tone … blood shot eyes … chopped all my hair off because brushing it is challenging.
Had a dire day today, my mum dashed over on a mercy mission at 3pm after getting me incoherent and sobbing on the phone. I’m seriously doubting the HE (parenting?) thing. The boob situation is dire (dr on Monday) I’ve got major over supply issues and am in a bit of a vicious cycle of engorgement/expressing to relieve block ducts - J’s latch is crap (he doesn’t mind because there’s so much milk but he isn’t draining the breast properly). He’s much happier again (not sleeping at all in the day time though) now though.
I like the hair
Rest of it all sounds perfectly normal but crap while you’re living it. It so gets better soon xxx

Thinking of you about the rest.

Yes I love the hair. The rest is just so bloody crap. Can I do anything to help at all? Do you want some make up
?

Been thinking about you for hours. Sending loads of love and comforting arms, I can’t hug you and hold you as I’m so far away but I am.
