You will burn out and fade away if you don't leave your expectations behind.
- I hope your baby recovers.
- Almost everyone on steemit would hope your baby recovers.
- NO ONE KNOWS YOU ARE HERE YET so no one will upvote this.
Sorry, that is the brutal reality. You have to build followers before anyone will see your post. You have 19 followers, that means 19 people will get this in their feed, and many of those are not real accounts. I HAPPENED to check the new tab the minute you posted this. By the time I finish this comment it will be pushed off the "new page" and if no one besides me happened to click it is over. Most posts make what they will make in about 2 hours - even with thousands of followers and lots of resteems.
Go COMMENT on other posts. That is what will be seen, if your comments are pertinent you will gain followers - real, engaged followers.
Best of luck to you, and the baby!
