So anyone who isn’t a mom should really just stop reading because yes you will say that you know new moms have no time and that things are going to be hard. That no sleep is going to be sucky and all that jazz. But let me tell you that I thought all these things too and strangely I still didn’t seem to believe a word of it. I thought..hmmm I am sure it is hard, but I can handle it. I mean how bad can waking through the night be? I’ll be off work and I’ll be able to sleep when he sleeps during the day so I am thinking that a lot of new moms are wimps and it would be something I can handle. Heck, I even said I was going back to work after a month!
My friend coined this term for me while I chatted with her post baby...motherhood is the greatest secret club in the world. It is SO true in so many ways. For one, you will never understand sleep deprivation until you have to go through it. You will never know the fear and anxiety you have when you lay your kid down to sleep and pray they give you 2 hours of sleep. You will never understand why it takes an entire day to feed, change and put a baby to sleep while you still are sitting in your pjs. No, I can not explain this to any non-mom, you just have to wait until you pop out a little bebe and then and only then will you be a part of the club and you will sit there covered in baby puke while you watch other people have a life as you certainly do not and you will say...I really had no idea.
