I was holding my baby girl, when all I could think about was "How did I fail at this?". I had one job to do and so far, I have failed. I reminded myself of my "mom" group. They were the ones who uplifted me and reminded me that it is not the delivery that defines who we are. The delivery is "just" the exit.

Advice from books is only good advice if your child has read the book. Do what is right for you, what is right for your family. There is no perfect mom, there is only one mom who will make mistakes, who takes breaks, and who finds time for herself. A mom that is happy, is a child that's happy!
