How did you get ready to become a mother? People say it's hard. As a first time mom, I was afraid and excited. What if I fail? What if I will not do a good job being a mother? What if I can not give her everything she wants? Questions that I ask myself. And just thinking about the fear of giving birth. The fear that I need to face and get through alone, it's overwhelming.
When my baby was born, I felt relieved, happy and emotions I can't describe. Nobody really understands unless they become a mother. One day, everything changed. Sleepless nights, your body changing and it feels like it's not you anymore. The truth is it's not about you anymore. It's all about the little angel you are holding. So, you need to keep it together and get stronger everyday.
There are times I'd cry, not in full control of my emotions. Not understanding anything and just felt tired and exhausted. But then, I look at my tiny human being and then suddenly she pulls me back to reality and gives me the strength I did not recognize that's in me to get by day by day.
Motherhood changes us. We think and do things with caution. Nobody is ready to become a mother, there is no such thing as preparation, it will come so suddenly and it will teach us every lesson we need to learn how to become a mother. Not a perfect mother, a real mother.
Greatful to my support system! My partner, family and friends. For they take a great role in providing a great support. We all need and deserve great people in our lives and I hope you have them too. Thankful for my partner who's with me in those tough and endless nights. My family, for helping me with the baby. For my friends, who keeps me sane and not forgotten and still includes me in their plans. I truly am greatful, for I have these in my life. Because of these people, I am able to enjoy life more and to the fullest.
Keep your heads up, Mommies. You are doing just fine!
