Day 270 (That day shall come ...)

So when the kid is born and you are fighting PPD/baby blues, they will tell you it gets easier after 3 months. When 3 months are nearing and you don’t see even a hint of it being easy, they will say it gets easier after 5 months. Probably when you will reach 5 months, timeline will increase to an year. The truth is it never gets easier... you just get used to of it.

There are good days and bad days. Maybe bad days are in minority but you will always find them longer and never-ending. Some days you will fall in the trap of the myth that you have mastered it all!  You know what he needs and when he needs it. But the kid will change the trick right then! And you have to start from zero.

In times like this, listen to only your partner and be in touch with only positive people. There will be people who will be happy in your misery and wish you ill when you are doing good. Mostly these people are in abundance. Never regret having taken help from anyone in this difficult phase even if it turned out to be no help at all. Atleast you will know you did everything you could. These times will be hard on your marriage and your social circle as well. Push back on those hard times for your partner and for a while forget the social part. Those who matter will stay and will understand. Forget a couple of birthdays, anniversaries, World Cups, marriages, relatives or native-visits. Just stay calm and keep going. This time is never going to come back when your baby will fit in your palm.

Every stage will bring a new challenge. Some will be physically challenging and others emotionally. Eventually you will get used to of all of it. Atleast I hope so...!
