A letter to my pregnant self
Hey pregnant self, January 2012,
First things first - you're going to be fine. It's all going to be fine. It'll take you a while to make it to "fine" but it's there. Right on the other side of the newborn fog and the many, many broken nights.
The most surprising thing about motherhood will be how hard it is. You know you're going to be tired but you have no idea how the endlessly repetitive tasks of early motherhood can grind you down to something barely functional.
So please, please, please don't insist on doing everything yourself.
