I read the books, I learned all about safe sleep, and bought all the essential baby items. I was prepared and ready to conquer motherhood! This was going to be a breeze, right?! Wrong! I quickly realized that for one of the first times in my life, everything around me was falling apart. Being the Type A, organized and by the books person that I am, I did not handle the chaos of having a newborn very well. I often found myself frustrated that my baby wouldn’t sleep when she was “supposed” to sleep, she was hungry way before she was “supposed” to be hungry, and what was the deal with all of this crying at night?! She hardly napped all day, so shouldn’t she be tired by now?? Nothing seemed to work quite like the books had told me it would.
