My life before kids.
To be a monther is what every woman wished for herself. Children on the other hand is a blessing full of responsibilities. I want to appreciate the author of this challenge for the effort you put to come up with this contest idea. Before I give birth to my daughter, I was leaving a free life, have all the time for myself, spend my money on myself. Hahahaha, it was really a nice moment. I can remember in the year 20005, when I traveled to Anambra State Nigeria to spend the holidays with my Aunt. Later in the year 2012 when I finished learning a skill, I bought many wears for myself, eat what I want, hang out with friends and come back when I want because, I had no child waiting for me at home. Seriously, singleness is a blessing.
Do you know that when I was single, I used most of my time to travel so many places in my country? Oh mine what a world!!!. Sometimes I will be awake playing games telling stories with my siblings. Have more times to read and meditate on God's word.
What I miss most and the biggest thing I see changed in my life because of becoming a mother.
What i miss most is the good time I spent together with family and friends. Apart from that, I calculate now before i spend because i will think about my child first before myself. I know longer move to places, even holidays now is meant for my child not me again. Since I give birth to my child, I saw a big change in my life. The first Change was to breastfeed my child. It was a big change because I felt pains on my nipples for more than 2 weeks before I get used to it.
I passed through stomach pains and don't sleep well again at night. I became a musician overnight, singing for my child when she is crying haha. Worries is another big change. It comes when my child is sick, I will be thinking of what to do to save her life. Last but not the least, right now, my breast is no more standing erect as is usual becoming a mother was the cost of that. Don't you agree with me that it is a big change???
One thing I wish I could have done before becoming a parent.
Wish is part of life and as a mother, I wish i allow more time to pass before going into marriage. Reason??? I would have make more money for my upcoming kids. Kids needs money, time and energy, I would have had a lot of money before becoming a mother. But all the same, am not regretting having my first child. Though life has not been easy, but we are still making it on a daily basis.

Please I want to remind my dear friend to take part in this contest.
