When you get married you can get a shower first thing in the
morning, eat breakfast, and be on schedule with no frustration. When your first born is finally home from the
hospital, you have little sleep, live in your pajamas for the first two weeks
and are lucky to get a shower…sound familiar? It takes you a month or two to
get a new schedule down, but you do because you are supermom. Maternity leave
is up after two months, you’ve pondered the thought of staying home because you’ve
grown to LOVE this precious time with your baby. You talk to your husband think
and plan out what you will have to sacrifice for you to be able to stay home.
The new house you want can wait for a while because the time spent with your
baby you will never be able to get back.
You struggle sometimes to remind yourself you are beautiful
and you need to have a minute alone. Crying is sometimes a daily thing either
because you haven’t slept a lot that week or you just need to talk to a friend
about a frustration. Never forget to
remind yourself you are doing what is best for you and your baby. Think of all
the mothers who cannot stay home. Your life revolves around this blessing from God;
it has changed your life forever. There is no amount of money that can replace
those precious memories you will have for the rest of your life. Time has a way
of escaping you during the day, the cooking, and diaper changing, and cleaning.
You get a routine down and everything seems to smooth out. Over time you come to a realization with yourself,
this is the BEST thing I have EVER done!
Mothers are natural nurtures;
we carry them in our wound for 9 months. We feel every movement, and a never-ending
love for our children. We will all have ups and downs as mothers, just enjoy
the good times and remember the bad times are only trials. We all make mistakes;
just try to be the mother, wife, and person God wants us to be in his eyes. Motherhood
is an adventure all on its’ own. There is no job that can make you more
emotional or stressed out in this world!
Much Love,
Tori
