motherhood
From the moment you feel your baby move inside you, you feel yourself changing...slowly but surely you are becoming a mother, a new wonderful version of yourself made of love care and tenderness.
It is a wonderful time full of anticipation where you are really growing love right under your heart.
Being a mommy you will love so strong and so purely and even though it might be hard at times you would not change your new life for the world...so enjoy that wonderful, messy, wild and beautiful ride and always remember:
​
" From the moment you hold your baby in your arms you will never be the same, you might long for the person you were before
when you had freedom and time and nothing in particular to worry about
You will know tiredness like you never knew it before, days will run into days that are exactly the same full of feedings and burping, nappy changes and crying, naps or a lack of naps, it might seem like a never-ending cycle
But don't forget... there is a last time for everything
here will come a time when you will feed your baby for the last very time, they will fall asleep on you after a long day, and it will be the last time
you ever hold your sleeping child
one day you will carry them on your hip then set them down, and never pick them up that way again
You will scrub their hair in the bath for one last time, and from that day on they will want to bathe alone
they will hold your hand to cross the road, then will never reach for it again
they will creep into your room at midnight for cuddles, and it will be the last night you ever wake to this
one afternoon you will sing "the wheels on the bus" and do all the actions, then never sing them that song again
they will kiss you goodbye at the school gate, the next day they will ask to walk to the gate alone
you will read a final bedtime story and wipe your last dirty face, they will run to you with arms raised for the very last time
the thing is, you won't even know it's the last time until there are no more times...and even then, it will take you a while to realize.
So while you are living in these times, remember there are only so many of them and when they are gone, you will yearn for just one more day of them.
For one last time." (author unkown)
