100% agree. I was just shy of 30 and honestly I love my baby so much and even though she's only been here for 7 months I literally couldn't imagine her not being here. Not saying that times haven't been hard because MY GOD she wasn't the 'easiest' baby but that moment of frustration is quickly replaced with the undying love you feel. Maybe some people take to it differently but in my eyes my baby didn't choose to be born and as a newborn they have NO idea what's going on. So used to being in your tummy without a care in the world then they've shoved outside and have to depend on you for everything! Maybe she'll feel better when Noa can interact with her more.I find this so hard to understand. How could you feel that the first few weeks of having a baby is a dirty secret? I honestly think it comes down to how prepared you are as a person. How ready you are to give up your life to a fellow human being. Maybe age comes into it? I was 29 with my first and 31 with my second. It was a breeze.,100% what I expected but better. I quickly quit BF because it was a bleeping nightmare and pointlessly stressing everyone out; but it was what I expected.
I think Kate was too old and loved her life too much to be selfless with Noa. Even now she still isn't 100% for her. I really get the feeling she is going through the motions of caring for her in a practical sense but not emotionally. She isn't there for her.
