Advent Calendar – 21 December
You’ve spent ages battling tears and tantrums, and you somehow finally got Bubba to sleep. But now you’re overwhelmed and exhausted. Should you shower? Eat? Tidy Up? Hoover? (Oh wait—nope, too loud!) And before you know it, you’re spiraling. An emotional tsunami takes over. All you can really muster the energy to do is crawl under a blanket and cry.
And just as you start to calm down… it happens. Like every time. What feels like just 30 seconds later… crying and screaming… they’re awake again. And so it continues.
If this sounds familiar and all too realistic, it’s because it was my experience throughout the first months of life with my Little Bean. I’ve been there, and I know how awful it can be.
But, as an incredible gift behind today’s door of my blog advent calendar, I’d like to introduce you to Melanie Heift! ❤️ 🎄 🎁
