“For all the things my hands have held, the best by far is you.”
So often we feel like the only safe space in the entire world for our baby is in our arms, and our arms alone. We mothers tend to do this most. We carry this burden of being the sole protector, provider, entertainer, sole resource for a tiny human who needs so much more than we could ever provide alone. And it weighs on us. Oh my gosh, does it weigh on us! We think about it while we’re doing dishes for the first time in 4 days because the baby wouldn’t stop crying every time you put her down. We think about it during our first shower in 7 days because you’re just too exhausted by the end of the day to do yet one more thing. We think about it when we get in our car and go back for our first day back to work. Heck, we even cry in the bathroom about it an hour into the shift.
It’s not only our responsibility, though. Partners, grandparents, friends, family members, teachers, aids, all sorts of people will come into your baby’s life and impact it in ways you’d never be able to, for the best. It takes a village, mama. You alone, are not a village and that’s ok.
Here’s a snippet of this newborn lifestyle session. I’ll share more of it another day down the road!
