Thank you for being so open and honest about your first days as a new mom! It is a struggle, it's definitely not all candy and roses... but in the end it's totally worth it. And it is so obvious how much you and Jay love your Miracle Babies. I really love what you wrote, every word it. Thank you for being so open and honest about your first days as a new mom!

The "false cheerfulness" is certainly something I was familiar with as I was trying to breastfeed my boys behind a curtain while 15+ people drank champagne in my hospital room..."oh, it's ok...celebrate without me". :) It's true though, you never get those moments back---both the good and the bad. I wish I would have wrote something such as this when it was crowding my head. Thanks for the post! J and F have a wonderful mama! Wonderfully written, Krissy.

I like to be "prepared" so like a horror movie I've been seeking out stories about how "tough" it is in the hopes that somehow if it is a bit better for me I'll think it is "easy".

It sums up so much of what I was feeling - the rollercoaster of emotions. I still hold my boys (now one) longer than I should if they get up in the middle of the night. Heck, even my 3-year old on the rare night she wakes up. They won't let you do that forever! My favorite sentence though "My hospital stay contained very little sleep, a lot of pain, and false cheerfulness". SO true for me. Thank you for sharing all of this!

I certainly could relate to most of what you went through. I do miss my babies but don't miss the sleepless nights. Great post. I certainly could relate to most of what you went through.
