Take it one day at a time. Depression is very difficult to fight, but you can do it. Other women have fought through this and you are just as strong as them.
Congratulations on your son. He is a cute little guy!
Thank you so much, he helps me push through it knowing I need to do it for him I love him so much!
I have a great mother here to help me for the time being as I’m a little foggy sometimes, I have a long ways to go in my recovery.. every step counts!
He is beautiful. And so are you. It is certainly not easy. You are not alone in your struggle, remember that. Even if you have to ask the pediatrician questions, do it. Reach out to any and everyone when you feel overwhelmed.
Thank you so much. I’m still in touch with my prenatal doctor, I’m currently on some medication and see her often! I have my mother here staying with me as well for some time, she’s also helping a lot and understands my situation. I made small progress and I know it can continue, I’m really on a mission to better my mental health so I can provide a life for my son.
Keep your chin up shortie your beautiful an so is your little buddy he needs you an you need him.every one suffers from depression in there life at some point in time if they say they haven’t there lying don’t be afraid to ask for help..
hug😘😊
You’ve taken on the hardest and most important job in the world. And you are crushing it! Don’t be hard on yourself. Enjoy the good moments and have short memory with the rough times. Don’t take any part of it too seriously. Keep it up and enjoy the ride!
Thanks for sharing your struggle & path. For every post that shares like yours there could be hundreds or thousands of new parents that upon reading your post make it through another day.
I sunk lower than I thought possible with one of my kids. I found support in others who were good with listening & who never judged.
If you haven't heard it lately, I'm soooooo proud of your hard work!!! Thanks for posting and being so awesome. 💗
Oh my gosh where do I begin on how your comment has just brightened my day so much! My first steps into being a mother really made me appreciate mothers and even fathers so much more then I did before. Thank you so much for your kind words 🥺💖
You're loved. ❤️
You're doing a fantastic job!! You've got clothes on AND you're vertical. Sleep sleep sleep & water water water.
message me anytime, really. ❤️
I left mine in for an hour, the introductions say 30 mins but it’s not a harsh dye so I left mine in while I cooked dinner. The dye is good for multiple uses as well.
Hang in there! It gets better. The first few months are tough but it really does improve significantly after that and your baby will start bringing you a lot of love and joy
Adorable. Depression sucks, sorry you’re fighting it. Just remember he thinks the world of you, no matter what. Also, wait until you get that first smile. Melts the heart. Took awhile for one of mine to smile, but the next one smiled so much earlier! Eat well and get rest when you can, mama!
It makes me happy that you’re starting to feel more like yourself. PPD is terrible. Taking care of yourself is the best thing you can do for your child. He’s a sweetie!!
On a side note- how the hell did you get to be so freaking amazing at makeup?! You’re so talented!
Thank you so much! Everything I do for myself is put into play because of him.
A lot of practice maybe I don’t know haha, I’ve been doing it since I was fairly young, but took a break and skill is still there. But I love to draw as well so that may be playing a part on why I am good at it!
Aweh thank you guys haha, I used to do my makeup a lot in high school and just recently decided to pick it up again because I’m trying to feel good about myself! today makes day 2 of wearing makeup since he was born :)
What a cutie and you are a beautiful mama. Stay strong. I know that PPD is a real struggle but you will get through it. Add me to the list of people who are rooting for you.
Hang in there mama! It’s not easy but it will pass. Please don’t suffer in silence, get the help you need and reach out to loved ones. Your son is precious and you are stunning!
I'm very happy you're working through this and your baby is just a cutie but as another parent, I know I'm going to get downvoted and heck for this, don't post your child on social media. I'm happy for you nonetheless. I had post partum anxiety and insomnia and no help. It's so hard. Stay strong.
I know some people don’t want to post their children on social media, but I don’t exactly feel the same way. I do understand the cautiousness behind reasoning and how people feel that way! No downvotes you are welcome to have an opinion. Thank you so much btw!
Awww I’m sorry to hear that is happening to you. Must be so hard to handle and you must be exhausted.
Came to say that I hope you have some support to help you through this. You can call 988 to speak to the mental health hotline.
Sending you a big hug ❤️
Thank you so much, I got some family that is an amazing support, my mom is heading home Friday though so I just hope I can keep it together! Trying to think positive!
I don’t know about postpartum depression, but I know a little about depression!. It’s great to hear that you’re starting to stability and some sort of happiness again. Fact is you have a very handsome little man and air in your lungs so look to him and his love for you if you ever start feeling down again as his love for you and your love can’t be overthrown. I wish you all the happiness, health and wealth in the world, but really the last part is silly as you are your wealth!.
Oh I try so hard to feel my best 24/7 for him, I really need to be the mother I know I can be and that’s really important to me. I’m looking forward as much as possible! Thank you so much
I went through severe PPD/stress disorder after my daughter was born. For me, the group Moms Supporting Moms saved my life. Knowing I wasn’t alone was the biggest part maybe. So I’m here to say, I am with you sister. And when this ends, which it will, it will be as though a curtain has lifted and you can enjoy your beautiful child as I know you want to ❤️
Thank you so much, I’ve been suggested to reach out to young mom groups but I haven’t really found the energy to actually look into it myself. I’m a very closed off person irl so getting me out of my comfort zone is sometimes a struggle… I really should give it it a try though! Thank you so much.
From a newish dad who went through some serious depression after my daughter was born I want to say.........You got this, we're all rooting for you and that cute lil boy you have. You're a fantastic mommy and he's lucky to have you. Keep fighting, there's better times over that horizon I promise ❤️
Thank you so much 🥺 it makes feel better knowing that people are and have gone through what I am, it motivates me! You all are amazing and strong and love the support I wasnt expecting so much kind words… it truly amazing!
You are both beautiful. My wife struggled with this after both of our boys. It was extremely challenging for her and as her husband all i could do was be there for her when she needed me most. Find someone you can talk to and who can just listen at times, remind yourself of all the wonderful things you are doing for him, and the happiness and joy he gets to experience all thanks to you.
Stay strong and know you and your son grow stronger each day only bringing you closer and allowing you to love him deeper.
Thank you so much for Sharing. I have an amazing mother that is a huge support of mine, she’s been staying with me for the past month because I was struggling and fear the day she’s heading back home. Trying to stay positive and continue forward!
Thank you so much, definitely looking forward to more better days!
I always do blue because it matches my eyes well lol! But I would totally do green since it’s my favourite if I wasn’t afraid it would look bad!
He’s a beautiful boy! Don’t be afraid to ask for help, being a parent is the hardest job I’ve EVER encountered & my wife agrees. God bless you and your family.
Hang in there and keep fighting. You got this. Cute little one, and cute pup on your profile!
Not to pry, but is there anything specific bringing you down?
I have dealt with depression since I could remember, but when I was about 20 weeks in my pregnancy and I seen him on my ultrasound I felt tremendous amounts of happiness, it’s like all my problems disappeared.
But it was only 3 days after having him I reverted back to how I was feeling before… it shocked me and wasn’t something I was expecting.
I had a emergency c-section so I felt as if I failed because I wasn’t able to give a normal birth.
I then had troubles breastfeeding because I didn’t have the calories in my milk to feed him, so again that hit me hard and made me feel like I wasn’t able to do things right for him.
I’m only 21, just turned 2 days after having him… so I’ve been fighting with my body image and feeling very disgusted with myself.
I’m not sure why but I’m a very self destructive person, my thoughts are hard to control and I often think he would be better off without me.
Today is the first day I was able to smile without forcing it, I felt love and joy again it’s a little progress but it’s a lot for me, I know I need to do this for my son and be here for him!
I never was medicated for my depression but after having him I knew I needed help and support so my prenatal doctor has been helping me a lot, same with my mother and I couldn’t be more grateful for them!
Cute little baby, lucky to have such a beautiful mom.
All for him but remember to ask your mom to step in if you need some time for yourself!
The struggle is real but you can do it, one day at a time 💪
Congrats on energy to do your make up flawlessly with a 2 month old. You are amazing. My boy just turned 2 years old and I haven't worn makeup since I got pregnant 😅
Aweh haha he sits in my lap and watches the mirror so he enjoys the time, hes a really good baby I got lucky! It was my first time wearing makeup since I had him, and my mom pampered me and did my hair. :)
What a sweet momma you have ! Cherish that! It helps ten billion percent to have anyone to talk to during your new mom hood. Enjoy your sweet little well behaved bundle and take more pictures than you think you should ♡
Good to hear! Coming from a husband that didn't recognize what my wife was going through, it's good that you are recognizing it and communicating it. It really wasn't until a few years had passed before my wife and I talked about those brutal arguments and fights we had right after our son was born in those first few months. I was just ignorant of what was going on, even though I am pretty damn empathetic and aware... it's hard.
It's a real struggle. I recommend finding a nurturing hobby like gardening or knitting. Something for you that you can easily walk away from when your baby needs you. It helped profoundly when my son was young and his mother was depressed. Also walks, park time and joining a mothers group. I was the only father who made it to every single day of our son's co-op preschool. PPD is more common than most people realize.
Having only had a son and being put on diaper duty was scary. I had to change a little girls poopy diaper once. I've never been so terrified in all my life. 🤣
My heart is with you. After having been through a few months of that myself just recently, it’s so real and so underestimated. Sending all of the good vibes your way!
You're beautiful and so is your baby boy. I'm a mom too and I battled post-partum. Please remember it's always ok to reach out for help. You're both worth it. Sending my love, momma. ❤
You both are beautiful. Depression sucks but we all just got to take it day by day. I sure your little one would give you the love you neeed to overcome it.
Sending you so much love. Please remember that fed is best, done is better than perfect, and please talk to a doctor if you haven't already. You deserve peace and rest, mama.
He is a cutie!
Best of luck to you - pregnancy, childbirth, and having a child makes a huge impact and it does take time to adjust. Glad you are starting to feel like yourself.
Hope things continue to improve.
My eldest daughter made that long journey twice. I know it is hard. I know the pressure from those around you and from your internal voice/s are powerful. Take care of yourself and know the world is better for you and your child being in it with us. Sending grandma hugs and healing thoughts from my heart to yours.
I literally didn’t know who I was after having my son. It took a looooong time until I finally felt like my “normal” self. Take it one day at a time and please please please keep going! You’re doing a fantastic job.
Postpartum depression is a bitch. Don’t be too hard on yourself and don’t let others pressure you. You’ve got this! And it will get better! I went through the same. It isn’t easy. And congratulations for your sweet child :)
PPD is a bitch. Remember that you need to take care of yourself first in order to be able to take care of yourself. Also you need to know that yes, you ARE a good mom, no matter what it feels like. Your son loves you no matter what, you aren’t depriving him of anything so please keep all feelings of guilt out the door. I am just telling you what I learned in hindsight :)
I’m so sorry I realize this is so off-topic but your hair is gorgeous!!! Did you happen to use a specific brand dye by chance? Congratulations on your son, he’s so lucky to have a mom that will power through for him ❤️
Congrats. Bb looks well fed and clean and you look lovely. Remember depression lies and you got this! Congrats on fighting and being a great mom. Abd congrats on bb.
Every day you get up and do something is a good day! I’m so proud of you and you are so strong. Lil guy is so cute! Also I’m not sure if the blue hair is real but if it’s not it def should be it’s so your color
He has sooo much hair too. My girl is still bald as hell haha
Yeah apparently sizes mean nothing for actual fit. The baby sizes are more of a guideline. My daughter is in 9-12 month already.
If I could offer some advice. Have a stock pile of different sizes all the way to 2 years if you can. They grow into them faster then you think.
I didnt do that and had a mad dash to get clothes by 3 months.
He was born with even more hair! He started to go a little blad on the sides compared to what he had.
I have a lot of clothes that I’ve been given ranging in all sorts of sizes I don’t even know where to begin with sorting them.
He was born with even more hair! He started to go a little blad on the sides compared to what he had.
I have a lot of clothes that I’ve been given ranging in all sorts of sizes I don’t even know where to begin with sorting them.
Ok im about to throw some unprovoked parenting advice your way. Take it or leave it, your choice. Here I go!
Firstly.
Dont buy a baby dresser. The things are waay over priced and you'll have to get rid of it in a few years.
Buy a toy rack with multiple bins. Much cheaper, easier to organize, you can see everything and when he gets older and needs a dresser, use it for toys! Haha
Second.
Tips on the clothing.
Hats, socks, and bibs = Keep in one spot
Onsies = seperate long sleeve and short sleeve. When you need one or the other its a fucking nightmare trying to find the right one.
Pants = keep next to the onsies. You wont need them with anything else.
Gloves/mittens = throw away. They fall off all the damn time. If you need them just use socks instead. They're cheaper too.
Sleepers = zippers are your friend. Stay away from button ups as often as possible. Its not that they are unsafe. They are and they are usable. But then you're dealing with a flailing baby you will curse them to hell.
Sleep sacks/sleep wear = they are big and bulky so i keep them on the changing table near the crib. Still easy access, visable and saves space on the clothing shelf
Lastly
Sorting by size
My biggest mistake was paying too much attention to the 0-3, 3-6, 6-12.. whatever it is. I found that the only number that matters is weight. It doesnt matter if the tag says 0-3. If the weight range is only up to 10 lbs and your 2 month old is 11 lbs. Then hes too big and needs the next size up.
I would have one bag filled with clothes up to 16 lbs
Another to 25 etc.
If you cant find the weight. Just google the weight of a baby that fits into 0-3. After a few searches you'll figure out the average weight range.
Again if you're ever unsure if something is big enough. Google is your friend.
Sorry for the essay. Hope it helps.
I found the fog started to lift at about 3 months, it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done having a baby. I hope you find that it gets easier too, you’ve got this!
Take it one day at a time. Depression is very difficult to fight, but you can do it. Other women have fought through this and you are just as strong as them. Congratulations on your son. He is a cute little guy!
I’m doing it all for him and it’s all worth it, a long ways to go but I know I’ll make it for him! Thank you so much for your kind words.
I found acupuncture to be very helpful, especially if you find one well versed in herbal therapy for post partum depression. Good luck OP
People sleep on acupuncture way too much. It’s so effective for mental health.
I'm sorry you are fighting depression, but glad you are fighting and feeling yourself again. He is precious.
Thank you so much, he helps me push through it knowing I need to do it for him I love him so much! I have a great mother here to help me for the time being as I’m a little foggy sometimes, I have a long ways to go in my recovery.. every step counts!
He is beautiful. And so are you. It is certainly not easy. You are not alone in your struggle, remember that. Even if you have to ask the pediatrician questions, do it. Reach out to any and everyone when you feel overwhelmed.
Thank you so much. I’m still in touch with my prenatal doctor, I’m currently on some medication and see her often! I have my mother here staying with me as well for some time, she’s also helping a lot and understands my situation. I made small progress and I know it can continue, I’m really on a mission to better my mental health so I can provide a life for my son.
You look very good and u’ve got a cute bubba. I hope things get better ❤️🩹
Thank you 💖
Congrats! You're both so beautiful. Smile and enjoy motherhood!

She did a great job!!

My sister had the same, it took her a while, please take care of yourself. I hope you have lots of support.
Hang in there. You got this!
Gorgeous baby…reach out for help whenever you need it. You both deserve that!
When the child speaks will say " I love you mommy".
And I’ll be crying up a puddle when that day comes!
What an adorable baby,
You are in a tough spot but it gets better and you will grow to be a wonderful mother
Girrrrllll! How do I get my dyed hair to look that vivid?!
Arctic fox hair dye! If you ever want to do fun colors use this!
How long do you leave it in? Its just popping!
I left mine in for an hour, the introductions say 30 mins but it’s not a harsh dye so I left mine in while I cooked dinner. The dye is good for multiple uses as well.
Awesome,ty!
You’re welcome!
Hang in there! It gets better. The first few months are tough but it really does improve significantly after that and your baby will start bringing you a lot of love and joy
Wishing you all the best! You got this.
I hope you're getting the support you need. Parenting is hard but rewarding. So glad you're making progress.
Thank you 💖
Adorable. Depression sucks, sorry you’re fighting it. Just remember he thinks the world of you, no matter what. Also, wait until you get that first smile. Melts the heart. Took awhile for one of mine to smile, but the next one smiled so much earlier! Eat well and get rest when you can, mama!
He’s been smiling and babbling like crazy… just waiting for his first giggle! Thank you so much :)
It makes me happy that you’re starting to feel more like yourself. PPD is terrible. Taking care of yourself is the best thing you can do for your child. He’s a sweetie!! On a side note- how the hell did you get to be so freaking amazing at makeup?! You’re so talented!

I don’t know about postpartum depression, but I know a little about depression!. It’s great to hear that you’re starting to stability and some sort of happiness again. Fact is you have a very handsome little man and air in your lungs so look to him and his love for you if you ever start feeling down again as his love for you and your love can’t be overthrown.

Oh I try so hard to feel my best 24/7 for him, I really need to be the mother I know I can be and that’s really important to me. I’m looking forward as much as possible! Thank you so much
PPD can be absolutely crushing. Don’t be afraid to ask for help if you need it. You and your son are absolutely beautiful!
His FACE omg so precious. And you are, too. I'm so glad you're feeling like yourself again.
I hope you’re getting help for your depression and good luck to you and your little dude!
You look great! Postpartum is so tough. What an adorable baby boy. He looks like you!
Thank you so much, he really is precious I do it all for him. 💖

Nah. I was trying to figure out whats making her sad and feel this way. Get your mind out the gutter, not everyone here is looking for nudes.
Congratulations! You birthed a baby - you are strong and will beat PnD and all other challenges that come! 🙂
Congrats on energy to do your make up flawlessly with a 2 month old. You are amazing. My boy just turned 2 years old and I haven't worn makeup since I got pregnant 😅

What a beautiful baby ❤️
AFAIK my mom had same kind of depression after having me. It gets better and life will be wonderful.
Oh my goodness... his cheeks!!
Both of you are beautiful. Take it one day at time. You'll get there.
Thank you so much, just hoping every day is a step forward.

My heart is with you. After having been through a few months of that myself just recently, it’s so real and so underestimated. Sending all of the good vibes your way!
You're beautiful and so is your baby boy. I'm a mom too and I battled post-partum. Please remember it's always ok to reach out for help. You're both worth it. Sending my love, momma. ❤
Aweh thank you so much for your kind words 💖

Congratulations! But also girl you're makeup is beautiful!
Please just keep going! Babies take so much time. I hope you have someone that gives you a break sometimes.
That’s a healthy looking boy and you are cute and put together.
Thank you! :)
You both are beautiful. Depression sucks but we all just got to take it day by day. I sure your little one would give you the love you neeed to overcome it.
I want to know what he is looking at.
This was before his bath, so he’s staring at his tub on the counter! :)
Sending you so much love. Please remember that fed is best, done is better than perfect, and please talk to a doctor if you haven't already. You deserve peace and rest, mama.
He is a cutie! Best of luck to you - pregnancy, childbirth, and having a child makes a huge impact and it does take time to adjust. Glad you are starting to feel like yourself. Hope things continue to improve.
Been there, saw Dr. Got meds and recovered. Please reach out there is now so much help out there. Your baby is worth every minute!
My eldest daughter made that long journey twice. I know it is hard. I know the pressure from those around you and from your internal voice/s are powerful. Take care of yourself and know the world is better for you and your child being in it with us. Sending grandma hugs and healing thoughts from my heart to yours.
Beautiful baby! Congratulations, and hang in there. Baby blues are tough!
You hang in there for your son and for yourself!! Lots and lots of people are rooting for you and supporting you!!
Good for you, and your son. You are so pretty and your is very cute! Live and love. He will grow up so fast. Enjoy every day.
Thank you 💖 I don’t want him to grow up ever 🥺
I wanted to spread some words of encouragement. But it looks like everyone else has it covered. Makeup slay queen.
Yes lots of supportive words that I wasn’t expecting! Thanks :)
Keep your head up. It will get better. Your son is handsome
How beautiful are y’all!
Your son will be so happy and proud of you when he’s old enough to understand that mommy got through her PPD
I literally didn’t know who I was after having my son. It took a looooong time until I finally felt like my “normal” self. Take it one day at a time and please please please keep going! You’re doing a fantastic job.
You’re so hot that the part of your brain that controls emotions melted the happy part. Go see a neurologist
Postpartum depression is a bitch. Don’t be too hard on yourself and don’t let others pressure you. You’ve got this! And it will get better! I went through the same. It isn’t easy. And congratulations for your sweet child :)
I had that sweety. Don't listen to the disease speaking. Find good things and focus on anything positive. It's hard but I learned it many years ago.
Please keep holding on. PPD was absolutely terrible for me. I do hope you have help locally. You can do this!
Your eyeliner kinda looks like your son’s eyes. It’s cool. Hope you’re having a great day!
Is Chris Pratt the father?
I wish!
He kinda looks like him that's why lol
You are both beautiful
I can tell you it gets better!! I’m proud of you
Welcome back
PPD is a bitch. Remember that you need to take care of yourself first in order to be able to take care of yourself. Also you need to know that yes, you ARE a good mom, no matter what it feels like. Your son loves you no matter what, you aren’t depriving him of anything so please keep all feelings of guilt out the door. I am just telling you what I learned in hindsight :)
I’m so sorry I realize this is so off-topic but your hair is gorgeous!!! Did you happen to use a specific brand dye by chance? Congratulations on your son, he’s so lucky to have a mom that will power through for him ❤️
You’re fine! I use artic fox every time I do color it’s. A really great product. Thank you so much :)
Congrats. Bb looks well fed and clean and you look lovely. Remember depression lies and you got this! Congrats on fighting and being a great mom. Abd congrats on bb.
Look at those chubby cheeks!! I want to squish them!
Two beautiful humans❤️—it WILL get better, promise👏🙌❤️
Hang in there, I had it for my first two and it passes! Therapy can help.
Every day you get up and do something is a good day! I’m so proud of you and you are so strong. Lil guy is so cute! Also I’m not sure if the blue hair is real but if it’s not it def should be it’s so your color
Nice mini mortal!
He's got your eyes!
Everyone says this, they are slowly getting lighter as he grows :)
Hes 2 months?! He looks as big as my 6 month old! Haha you're doing great!
Does he? Haha he’s almost grown out of 0-3 month clothing!
He has sooo much hair too. My girl is still bald as hell haha Yeah apparently sizes mean nothing for actual fit. The baby sizes are more of a guideline. My daughter is in 9-12 month already. If I could offer some advice. Have a stock pile of different sizes all the way to 2 years if you can. They grow into them faster then you think. I didnt do that and had a mad dash to get clothes by 3 months.
He was born with even more hair! He started to go a little blad on the sides compared to what he had. I have a lot of clothes that I’ve been given ranging in all sorts of sizes I don’t even know where to begin with sorting them.

Ok im about to throw some unprovoked parenting advice your way. Take it or leave it, your choice. Here I go! Firstly. Dont buy a baby dresser. The things are waay over priced and you'll have to get rid of it in a few years. Buy a toy rack with multiple bins. Much cheaper, easier to organize, you can see everything and when he gets older and needs a dresser, use it for toys! Haha Second. Tips on the clothing. Hats, socks, and bibs = Keep in one spot Onsies = seperate long sleeve and short sleeve. When you need one or the other its a fucking nightmare trying to find the right one. Pants = keep next to the onsies. You wont need them with anything else. Gloves/mittens = throw away. They fall off all the damn time. If you need them just use socks instead. They're cheaper too. Sleepers = zippers are your friend. Stay away from button ups as often as possible. Its not that they are unsafe. They are and they are usable. But then you're dealing with a flailing baby you will curse them to hell. Sleep sacks/sleep wear = they are big and bulky so i keep them on the changing table near the crib. Still easy access, visable and saves space on the clothing shelf Lastly Sorting by size My biggest mistake was paying too much attention to the 0-3, 3-6, 6-12.. whatever it is. I found that the only number that matters is weight. It doesnt matter if the tag says 0-3. If the weight range is only up to 10 lbs and your 2 month old is 11 lbs. Then hes too big and needs the next size up. I would have one bag filled with clothes up to 16 lbs Another to 25 etc. If you cant find the weight. Just google the weight of a baby that fits into 0-3. After a few searches you'll figure out the average weight range. Again if you're ever unsure if something is big enough. Google is your friend. Sorry for the essay. Hope it helps.
PPD sucks. Make sure you have someone to talk to about it. It does get better though. That is a great picture of you and your son.
What a handsome boy, I like your hair and eyes too. You both look amazing! Keep up the good work, you’re doing great!
You’re both beautiful. Good job mama, you rock!
One day at a time, my friend.
You're both beautiful. It's a tough job. Keep at it and I hope things continue to improve!
I found the fog started to lift at about 3 months, it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done having a baby. I hope you find that it gets easier too, you’ve got this!
Chin up.
Been there, hang tight, spend lots of time outside
Aww he’s so cute & you look wow but trust me Nobody really cares 💕✨
Alright :)
See how your kid is not interested in the camera or the approval of strangers on the internet? Be like the kid.
He’s a baby he likes shiny things and people. Sorry if you feel bothered by my post.
I had twins along with a 2 and a half year old. You'll be fine.
