Motherhood

Being a mother changes you as a person Completely, your life that you once knew turns around. NOTHING is the same and the adjustment is hard.  I Left my job to stay home with my daughter. I thought I had everything in the bag, had SO MANY expectations of myself and how life was going to be with our new little girl. I knew nothing about being a mom  and never had a good mother figure to begin with, so all I knew was I had to be better. When my daughter was born I felt a love that is unexplainable, I fell in love ALL over again. My relationship with my husband changed (for good) we became a team, I loved him more than I ever did. There was A LOT of love all around. After my husband went back to work and it was official I was a stay at home mom, I went through a rough patch. I felt like a failure because I wasn’t getting anything done. I stayed in bed most of the day, didn’t have dinner on the table, house was a mess, I broke down. I thought I wasn’t made to stay at home, questioned if I was a good mother. Thankfully I have an amazing friend, practically a sister to me that helped me realize, it all takes time. Everything is new, for the first time in my life I had a little person that relied on me to live! Nothing was going to be the same and I needed to learn how to adjust my life. Now, I’m slowly accomplishing what I thought I couldn’t. House is staying clean..ish, dinner is being made and now I’m getting about 1-2hours to myself! What I would tell any new mom is don’t be so hard on yourself. You know your baby better than you think, all babies are different and you know whats best for yourself and your baby. Don’t be afraid to ask for help or to say no to advise you don’t agree with. Also don’t hesitate to Talk to someone when your feeling a bit of the baby blues.
