Yes :-) I remember everything you just described.

It gets easier. Promise. But it sounds like you are doing fine already.

Its amazing how much paraphernalia babies seem to bring with them. And how much laundry they generate.

Sounds like you've pretty much got it all figured out. :-)

I had the same thoughts about breastfeeding when Babboo was born. Dude...it is a full time job to just SIT and nurse a baby. I was so ready to quit. But then I realized if I stopped nursing him I'd be paying for formula and still sitting there feeding him a bottle. Same amount of time, more money. So yeah, I feel you on that. (Thankfully they stop nursing so much. And then you actually start missing all that snuggle time. For reals. It's insane.)

Looking forward to hearing from you in a month!

I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one who doesn't love breast feeding. It eats up so much time (no pun intended) and so far is not the great bonding experience everyone says it is. Mostly I just find it to be a pain in the ass. But yeah - it's way cheaper than formula. (This comment brought to you by the previously hated touch screen keyboard on my phone.)

I LOVE YOU AND HANNAH AND THIS POST! Every new mom should read it -- it's funny and real. I ditto what Isabel said. I was DETERMINED to breastfeed even though, for me, it was incredibly painful. A friend of mine, who was 8 months ahead of me said, "it will be painful for six weeks, but you can do anything for six weeks, right?" And I agreed and was DETERMINED, I tell ya, even though, yeah, they eat all the damn time and it was like razor blades being sucked out the actual nipple...but then, one day, I found myself thinking "this is the most wonderful thing in the whole wide world," and I snapped myself out of the stupor and giddily called my husband at work because I MEANT IT! The boobs weren't hurting, the baby was nestled in my arms feeding off milk my body produced, and YES, it didn't hurt. TOTALLY WORTH IT! You're a rockstar for keeping at it, and YES, you deserve prizes. I felt the same way...where's the tickertape parade? Doesn't anyone else see what we did -- we left the house and returned without someone dying! Woot! Well, I'm tossing up shredded bills in your honor! Imagine me blowing horns in your honor (ok, but not loud enough to wake the baby)! You're awesome and hilarious and thank you for sharing your life with us! Now go shovel cookies into your mouth standing up (yup, do that still). May I recommend oatmeal teddy grahams dipped in Nutella? No. Don't do it.

There really is nothing better to read than a new mom's honesty. I have missed you, but I totally, totally get it!

I'm glad yoga worked out!

I still don't LOVE breastfeeding, but eh, it's fine. I never thought we would get to the point where it wasn't constant, but she really goes about 3 hours between feedings now.

I am impressed with your getting out of the house skills.

I have always suspected that babies--even brand new babies--poop and cry and don't sleep and muck around with your life and things aren't all unicorn tears and rainbow fluff.

Thank you for keeping t real.

Welcome back! See you in a month! It's great to hear your honesty and about your first few weeks/months of life with a newborn. I hear everyone saying it will get better and easier, so for what it's worth, I pass that along with no personal experience with a baby! hugs to you all!

HAHA...this was SO me with my first son. I HATED breastfeeding but was determined to do it, plus I didn't want to spend money (that we didn't have) on formula. It was blissful when he finally stopped taking an HOUR to nurse every two hours (omg). I love this post...it's real. Not rainbows and butterflies like everyone expects it to be.

Missed your blog posts. Excited for next month's installment (or maybe a December post, no pressure!)

I feel like I should get an award when I do laundry, mail something, or put in a new garbage bag--and I am not straddled with a needy infant. So, I agree that you should be getting a gift basket, minimum, for your fearless trips!

I just wanted to thank you for your honesty surrounding breast feeding and motherhood. I read so many things saying it's full of rainbows and unicorns and roses, so reading your post was like a breath of fresh air.

I'm always so intrigued by these "life after baby" posts--it really does sound like you are doing such an amazing job in an absolutely enormous transition period. And I'm actually jealous of you that you gave up on Project Runway early on. I did not, and I actually feel like I lost a huge part of my life to that awfulness. Give it back, Bunim-Murray! GIVE ME MY LIFE BACK!

I don't think I would have survived my maternity leave without the iPad. It was the only way I stayed in touch with anyone.

As for hating your house, I can totally empathize. I live in a tiny Baltimore City row home and now it just feels even more cramped. There are days when I feel like Babies R Us vomited all over my living/dining room. And don't get me started on how I now get PISSED when I can't park in front of my house and have to walk a 20+ lb baby in a not easy to carry car seat a few more feet to my house.

(but I promise it gets easier - or maybe you just adapt because you have to?)
