Two events, 3 months apart. I was 4 months post partum in the first photo, my first event since giving birth. I promised myself the grace to recover and focus on my second baby. With my first child, I remember going back to work after only 5 weeks post surgery (CS). It was a very stressful and traumatic experience. This time around, I am not rushing the process. I am taking it slow and enjoying this very short time I have while my babies are little.
I wouldn’t be very honest if I said being home with my children is all rainbows and butterflies. It’s not. Being home has its perks, but there are days when I really, really want to work and do more events. Of course, it’s part of my identity. But being a mother is my identity too. I am still learning how to balance both.
Seeing where I am now, I have no regrets. There are days when it all feels like it’s not coming together. I feel lost, left behind, worthless. However, I realized that as you evolve as a person, your dreams evolve too. The choices I’ve made so far have perfectly aligned with some of the dreams I’ve laid out for myself. I still have a lot I would like to strive for, but I will let it take its course. No matter where life takes me, let this be a reminder to trust in the process. 🤍
