I AM A MOM
I have always known I wanted to be a mom. I always felt like
I would be a good mom. I always felt that being a mom was my main purpose in
life. But now that I actually am a mom-I am surprised daily just how right and
perfect life all the sudden is.
The moment Milan was placed on my chest it was like a light
switch flipped on inside of me. A light switch welcoming a sort of love I
didn’t know I was capable of. A light switch that changed my whole demeanor and
outlook on life.
I have always been a worrier. I stress and overwhelm myself
quite easily. I think too much about everything and make myself sick over the
littlest things; but not anymore. I have been so relaxed and calm since
becoming a mother. Quite ironic to me- I was sure my anxiety and stress would
go through the roof worrying about my little baby and if I was doing my best to
give her what she deserves. I was sure my mind would be filled with self doubt
and feelings of incompetence. Quite the opposite has happened.
I constantly feel like I am in a state of euphoria, full of
peace and pure joy. Holding Milan up against my chest, watching her sleep,
seeing her eyes explore this world that is so new to her-these are the things
that make me feel complete, make me feel like the most successful person in the
world, and fill my entire body with the purest form of love.
Now I may not have a college degree, I may have very minimal
work experience, I may not be wealthy by worldly definition-but I am a mom and
to me that is more valuable than anything else in life. Milan has blessed me
more in her two weeks of life than I probably will ever bless her.
The sweetest post. Ps your hair is beautiful in those pictures!

ReplyDeleteThis is the sweet things ever. I believe that everyone is put on this earth for one true purpose. For some of us, that is to work and then have a family...and for others, having that family really IS their purpose. I think being a mum is the best and most worthy "job" that we can have and no one can take that away from you :)
