I remember:
Lonelieness/isolation everyday.
Bordem, trying to fill each day with something to make the day go quickly till bed time.
The bone drenching exhaustion and trying to function.
The utter horror of being ignored at playgroups. Trying to make conversation, but getting nothing back.
The dread of illness, sickness, colds, clocks changing, routine upheaval, teething, immunisations affecting what minute sleep ds had at night, dwindling down to nil.
PND is a bitch. BUT i know what to look out for, so will get the tabs early, but can you tell i did not enjoy any of my son.
He is nearly 10 now and an angel/gorgeous/funny/self sufficient.
Expecting number 2 now and determined to do things differently as i SO want to enjoy this LO.
Give me your top tips please on how to survive
