In fact the world is a better place due to your writing. Motherhood is not the dreamy state diaper adds would like us to believe and does not end marked by your baby's 18th birthday. Mine are almost middle aged and I still worry. You will be fine and will soon find the rhythm needed. I still miss my mother!

Thank you, Sylvia! And that is too true. The world we see portrayed in media is not often the same one we inhabit!

My kids had different things that soothed them. Tommy loved being in the car. We would drive to the train station or Teddy Roosevelt’s House and Kate loved the dryer. At one point Tommy had reversed night and day. As a freelancer it was not the end of the world but I remembered 29ish years ago how few channels and content. Good luck and trust in time. Xxoo

Thank you, Naomi! It always helps to hear from those who have been there. Time takes care of a lot, in parenting and in everything else--but it's hard to be patient!
