"Enjoy your sleep while you can"

Ladies... I'm only just about a week out, but I wanted to send some words of encouragement.

Despite the whole newborn day/night confusion thing and the extremely minimal amount of sleep I've been getting, I just wanted to say that I feel SO MUCH BETTER and feel way more rested than I did since at least 35 weeks, if not the majority of my pregnancy. People really like to tell you to "enjoy your sleep while you can" when you're pregnant, which is so infuriating when you're not at all. But it is so different when your body doesnt feel like its fighting back all night. I don't wake up having to pee all the time, my hips don't hurt, my insomnia disappeared. When I wake up, I feel great, and then I get to snuggle my baby.

I know everyone's situation is different, and your experience may not be entirely like mine, but while I was pregnant hearing positive experiences was the only thing that kept me sane sometimes.

You will sleep again. Hang in there.
