It does get easier

You may not think it when you're so sleep deprived you brush your teeth with your eyes closed (and that's if you actual get to brush your teeth before the day is out!) or its 3am and you have a very explosive nappy but it does. I am close to finishing the 3rd week of flying solo with baby (now that my husband is back at work) and whilst I still take each day as it comes, I truly have found the light at the end of the tunnel and with that, confidence. You just have to say to yourself, 'right I'm a mum now I can do this' coz chances are (unless you're very lucky and live in the same village as all your relatives, which I don't) the majority of the time you're all the little chap/chapess has got.
