I started reading this book when the title grabbed me on amazon.
And from the get go, it named so many of my bleary, unformed thoughts. The first book I have come across that doesn't give tips or advice but instead gives quiet affirmation to the millions of tiny things mothers of infants do...
... like being constantly interruptable, or giving the deep comfort a newborn craves, the extreme seriousness of having a giant new responsibility and no training or having zero patience for your partner.
It also speaks to the confusion, anxiety and exhaustion new moms endure.
It gives us new mothers a more realistic perspective calmed me right on down.
Excellent bedtime reading to help sanity with a nice dose of empathy.
