From Author Chelle Landers: Feel like you are the only one not loving every minute of new motherhood? You are not alone Your mommy friends and relatives may hide the truth about new motherhood. But I won't lie to you. Maybe you've heard this from other moms: "Treasure these years, they go by so fast." "You'll miss these precious times." "I would give anything to go back and be where you are." I have heard it everyday for six years, and it kills me. When you're so groggy from sleeplessness, so frustrated by the challenges of soothing a baby, so isolated from your pre-baby life, so frightened by the immensity of this new responsibility for a helpless life.... how does it help to hear that these are the best days of your life? Answer: It does not. I wrote this collection because, through the difficult days of my three consecutive babies, I wished there was a woman somewhere, anywhere, who could talk candidly about the challenge of new motherhood. I wished everyone wasn't guarding the image of post partum bliss. I wanted it to be safe to say, "This is hard," without it sounding like a rejection of my babies. As time finally passed and I found some light and peace again, I wanted to reach out to other moms, to console them in the way I would have loved to be consoled. To tell them that from pregnancy and infant care, to the postpartum marriage, to mommy groups and siblings, having a baby is lonely, humbling, exhausting, terrifying... and worth it.
