Motherhood is a choice I make every single day.
⠀⠀
To put someone else’s happiness and well-being ahead of my own, to teach the hard lessons, to do the right thing even when I’m not sure what the right thing is.
⠀⠀
And to forgive myself, over and over again, for doing everything wrong.
⠀⠀
Any other mothers feel like the last week has been an explosion of life? The best way to describe it is the exhaustion I felt in those first few month of my children’s life.
⠀⠀
Not sleeping, not eating, endless laundry, body aching, bottles to sterilize, milk to pump, meals to prep… The list goes on and on.
⠀⠀
Trial and error, exhaustion, schedules, the new normal. It’s all a balancing act.
⠀⠀
But somehow we all make it through. Slowly, we adjust to the “new normal.”
⠀⠀
This feels the same. Little by little I am starting to see moments of what is to be our new normal.
⠀⠀
This is hard. But it’s also beautiful.
⠀⠀
YOU are what is best for them. All they need is YOU. Give them love, attention, care. But don’t forget to give yourself the same.
⠀⠀
Stay strong. We’ve got this mamas!
XOXO
