Baby blues

Postpartum Recovery

I’m 4 days postpartum with my fifth baby, after four girls, we finally got our boy. We said we were done after having four girls, but God surprised us last September with a baby boy. I was high risk all through out my pregnancy and ended up being induced this last Wednesday at 39 weeks/2 days.

I’m feeling an overwhelming sense of sadness knowing this is probably my last baby.. I’m so sad to know that maybe this chapter is over for good and I’ll never carry another baby, but also not wanting him to grow up so fast and seeing my other babies growing up so fast as well and wishing time would slow down.

Please tell me I’m not alone in this feeling 😔
