Is a baby really that much work?

A new mom really doesn’t have 2 mins. I remember my day were spend feeding, changing diapers, putting baby to sleep, taking him out for fresh air, b’feeding, pumping milk right after the feed, trying to make a dinner before hubby gets home, try to get a shower somewhere in b/w, washing poopy clothes before putting them for laundry, etc etc. It was a never ending cycle.

Yes, I had days when I had to wake up at 3am, change a poppy diaper, baby clothes, change the crib sheet, wash them, as he decided a big explosion was fun at 3am.

It is very exhausting and over whelming no matter you are a first time mom or 2nd/3rd.
I don’t remember getting much on my pH, etc.

However, you did the right thing by canceling her appointment.

It does sound full on! But at the same time, I think raising your child and being at home with it for all the important moments would be incredibly special at my workplace there is a woman who had 2 kids within a couple of years of each other and was back at work 6 months after having each baby! I feel like you would just be missing out on all the moments by doing that.
