Don’t feel guilty if you lack any of the Hollywood feelings and emotions. I didn’t feel the warm fuzzies the first time I held my kids. I didn’t even particularly like or enjoy them until they were able to move and interact a lot more (3 months, maybe?) Also: two books that I found most helpful: Happiest Baby on the Block and Simplicity Parenting. YMMV. It’s quite different for everyone. Edit: if you’re like me, you’ll pack on the pounds in the next 5 years. I’m working out regularly now and feel / look much better. I wish I’d done that from the start.
