I'm a new mom who works all the time. I worked till the day I gave birth to my amazing little boy. He was 10 lbs 21 in long. He was my blessing after two miscarriages and not understanding why I wasn't able to have a child, until I found out that my body was attacking the baby. My body thought the baby was a infection or a disease. After my second miscarriage the doctors did some tests and told me what the problem was, the problem was me. I felt like I was broken, like I wasn't meant to be a mother. But then with the help of modern medicine they gave me a shot and within a week I could tell I was pregnant. I went threw so much to have this child, and I am so grateful that I did he is the apple of my eye. My miracle child. But sadly I feel sometimes like I am failing as a mother. I am always at work, when I leave he is barely awake and when I get home he is asleep. On my days off I spend it cleaning my home that never seems to stay clean. I'm scared my son is going to resent me for always being away from him as he grows up. So tell me mother's, and father's what are your struggles, and how have you over come them?

That is a big baby boy! I had a new daughter in June. She is so amazing as well! My struggle is doing everything myself. I literally change the baby, keep her happy, feed her, etc. It would be nice if dad would step in but he always seems to busy. It makes me sad but I'm glad I can be here for her.
