Baby blues are such a strange thing.
Your baby is finally here. The baby you dreamed about, prayed for, and waited months to meet. You should feel nothing but happy but instead you're crying.
You cry while holding them. You cry while watching them sleep. You cry because they're here. You cry because life will never be the same again.
& that's the part nobody warns you about.
It's not that you're unhappy. It's not that you regret anything. It's that your entire world changed overnight, and your heart is trying to catch up.
Your old routines are gone. Your old life is gone. A new version of you was born the day your baby was.
You look at your baby and feel so much love it almost hurts. At the same time, there's this sadness you can't explain. A heaviness you don't understand.
You sit there wondering, "Why am I crying? What's wrong with me?"
Nothing is wrong with you.
Sometimes baby blues are just the realization that life as you knew it is over, and life with your baby has begun. It's beautiful. It's emotional. It's overwhelming.
& somehow, all of those feelings can exist at the same time. 💙
