The answer is yes.
In case no one ever told you (or you haven't experienced it yourself), new parenthood is HARD.
It's difficult on every level, but the hardest part, by far, is mommy guilt.
This self imposed, unnecessary guilt is horrible and consuming.
After a good meeting with my doctor I am making steps to launch myself out of this fog and toward beginning to enjoy this time of infancy. Please keep our little family in your prayers.

Ditching my preconceived notions of life as a SAHM, and trading a life of guilt and fear for a life filled with grace and abundant joy. Joy, intermixed with complete chaos at times, but still joy.

About Me
- Melissa K.
- I am a child of Christ, a sinner saved by grace. I am wife to a wonderful man, and mommy to a delightful 3yo son and a delicious baby girl (who daily challenge me more than any job I've ever had). These are the stories of my days living here in the midwest, as I learn how this is all done.

You are the apple of my eye so my comments are biased. You are an amazing person but you will still experience the normal ups and downs of life. Yes, parenting is very hard and it seems bizarre that such a joyous time can also be so frustrating. You already know in your heart that God will see you through this and that family and friends are likely His greatest instruments to help you. Lean on them. Call out to them. Don't let anything keep you from letting us give you the help you so greatly need. We love you! We pray for you unceasingly!
I love you so much! Are things starting to get any better? You're getting ever closer to that "three month" mark ... I promise things will get better after that :) Of course there will always be hard stuff, but the "hell" part as my mom says will have passed for the most part. I pray that, more often than not, you will find yourself enjoying your beautiful, wonderful son rather than being frustrated by this stage. I'm thinking of a particular country song - "It Won't Be Like This For Long," by Darius Rucker. It makes me cry every time!
And P.S., I agree with "Anonymous" :)
