Thank you for sharing this. I had my second baby in the middle of May (I think he’s two, maybe three weeks older than Shep!) and I have been feeling so similarly. The beginning felt so easy, and the last month or so has felt so overwhelming… leaving the newborn bubble behind is hard. Thank you for reminding me I’m not alone.

Thanks for sharing, Mal -- you're not alone in these feelings! There is so much pressure to do it all, but the burn out from that is real. I have to remind myself often that it is okay not to get everything on my list checked off. xx
