Life is a bit overwhelming right now.
Sleep is scarce with Justine struggling to adjust to sharing the spotlight with her new baby sister. She’s been acting up, misbehaving, and even fighting to nurse when I’m feeding the baby. It’s been a challenge giving her the attention she needs while caring for a newborn.
Despite all that, I’m holding on to my resolution to run every morning. Today, I managed 1.5 kilometers—more of a limp than a run—because my pelvic bones are still so sore. It reminded me of the same postpartum journey I had with Justine, and I know consistency is key. It’s hard not to feel scared that I’ll lose myself in the newborn stage.
This morning was a whirlwind—I barely had time to brush my hair before rushing to get Justine to daycare and the baby to an appointment.
But even though I was late, I made it! When I get home, I plan to take a well-deserved nap with the baby, tidy up, and get some organization going. I’m looking forward to creating a routine and working on getting my body back in shape.
I know that once I feel stronger and more in control, I’ll be better prepared to conquer life with two little ones. It’s tough, but I’m holding on to hope and progress, one step (or limp) at a time.
