Four months ago, I had no idea what motherhood was actually going to ask of me
I didn’t know about the sleepless nights, pumping around the clock, healing while taking care of another human, the anxiety, the overstimulation, the second guessing myself, or how many times I would wonder if I was doing any of this right
But I also didn’t know about this…
I didn’t know I could love somebody so much that sometimes I just stare at him and feel like I would burst bc how much love I felt
This little boy has seen me exhausted, overwhelmed, emotional, running on cold coffee and three hours of sleep and every single day he still looks at me like I am his whole world. And his smile, omg I crumble into 1000 pieces for that smile and little giggle
Meanwhile, he has no idea that he became my entire universe
Motherhood has stretched me in ways I never expected. I’m still learning. Still healing. Still figuring out who this new version of me is
But one thing I have never had to figure out is how much I love being his mama
If you’re a mama, tell me something nobody could have prepared you for about loving your baby 🥹
