Hey sweetie, just wanted to comment and tell you to please not compare your experience with Annie's and let it make you feel bad. It is SO common to crave organization and rest after a baby (especially if it's your first), and I can imagine it's easy to think about how "prepared and organized" Annie is in her life, finances, etc, and how this might make her experience seem so smooth. But as a mom of several, I can assure you that however much prepared you are, parenthood has NO similarity to what Annie is showing!! With my first, I had everything perfectly organized, I was even fortunate enough to have a nanny ready - basically, all of this excess and "structure" that Annie surely does, and when my daughter came, I felt....completely chaotic in every way lol! None of the organization or extra help changed this feelings. This is totally normal no matter how much you prepared or how much you organize, how much money spent, etc, I promise you. What you are experiencing is a natural part of parenthood, and anyone that tells you differently is not being truthful.
Also, like everyone says, her baby has not come yet!! It's quite easy to sit and plan of how organized, calm, routined, and "organic" of a parent you will be....until the babe actually comes lol
!! No matter what type of privileges one has, parenthood is chaotic and difficult (and also amazing
, especially first time. Annie will have the choice to show the reality, or her own curated version (which, sadly, I think will be her way), but please please remember that this is not real, and don't compare your situation with it or let it make you feel bad about your situation. I wish Annie the best in her birth and introduction to parenthood, and hope she is able to give some truth to it in her platform. As for you, I have no doubt that you are doing an amazing job, and please know that this chaos is completely normal!!
