As we drive away from the hospital, I should be wrangling a little one into a car seat. He's supposed to be fussy, not wanting to be in the car, mad that he's stuck in a car seat. We drive home and I should be wishing he'd fall asleep (or I spend my time keeping him awake so he'll fall asleep for the night when we get home). But no, we drive away from the nursery without our baby. What I would give to be an exhausted mom of a screaming baby. Soon, I know. Soon.
Oh Lis. Thank you so much for saying this. Of course you feel this way, it shouldn't be like this. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your authenticity and willingness to share your journey - ups and downs. You are a courageous, devoted, warrior - mama and I am unspeakably proud of you. I love you very much.
