KISS= Keep It Simple and Slow

1. Lower your expectations

My husband: “Lower your expectations”

Me: “I’ve already lowered them”

My husband: “Then lower them one more time and be gentle with yourself”

Such truth in this!

2. If this is your first- set up camp

With our first we set up camp in the living room, we ate there, we slept there, we bonded as a family of three there.  We let the world around us continue to happen while we entered our new life as parents.

3. Say yes and Say no

Say yes to friends, family and neighbors helping you. People want to help, but don’t always know what to do.  Give them something to do: maybe it’s prepare a meal, maybe it clean dishes, maybe it’s do the laundry, maybe it go to the grocery store, maybe you need a shower let them watch your little one, maybe you need a 10 (or more) minute walk to regroup- again let them ooo and ahhh over your bundle of joy.

Say no to friends, family, and neighbors, it’s okay.  You become very popular when you bring baby home! Saying no when you need time to bond, rest, just have some time for adjusting is okay.  It’s a big deal to give birth and settle into a new rhythm.
