“Pregnancy was a 90-minute massage compared to life now.” After her little bundle of joy, Rowan (aka The Dictator)
arrives, Rebecca Eckler wonders when the
promised “rewarding” part will kick in. She wasn’t supposed
to trade in tight jeans for baggy sweatpants, or give up
the dream of sound sleep and a passionate sex life. Yet,
even in the throes of her exhaustion, Rebecca gleans and
shares some sound advice for modern moms, including
everything you need to know on • The Diaper Genie: “It’s been six weeks and we have yet to
use this ‘must-have’ baby item because we can’t figure out
how the damn thing works.”
• Achievement: “No matter how well I had done in school, no
matter what my career accomplishments were, my mother had
never been so proud of me as when I gave birth.”
• Keeping up appearances: “How is it possible that I
haven’t had a drink in months, yet still look worse than I
ever did hung over?”
• The effectiveness of baby monitors: “You can hear a baby
screaming through walls. Unless you live in the Taj Mahal
and place your baby at the other end of the palace, there
is no way you won’t hear her cry.”
• Size matters: “I had made the mistake of trying on a pair
of pre-pregnancy jeans, which I couldn’t get up past my
knees. It was the worst decision I have ever made.”
