Just as there is no warning for childbirth, there is no preparation for the sight of a first child. There should be a song for women to sing at this moment, or a prayer to recite. But perhaps there is none because there are no words strong enough to name that moment.
Being a mom may have made you so tired. And so happy. Somehow the arrival of a baby will make days shorter, nights longer that you will appreciate all the sleep you had and regret all that time that you didn’t sleep! You must be thinking that sleep is unicorn and somehow you wonder if you will ever see it again. Hung in there. Be patient. Every day the baby grows, it sleep longer! it’s also a chance for you sleep too! And it will sure make love stronger! You will feel the love that you never knew you had.
They say every child makes you discover yourself in different way. So the more children the more discoveries. After I read this, I thought about my grandma, she had 11 children! So she discovered herself 11 times! Don’t talk about the bank balance, because it will surely go on a roll and become smaller, the better part about the bundle joy is that they make a home happier! And for the mother don’t beat up yourself when your clothes become shabbier every minute.
The future is worth living for! Ofcourse for your baby and the new self. Please enjoy every day as your baby hits those big milestones like smiling, making little sounds, rollover, sitting, talking, standing and finally walking! You will be a proud mother everytime you see these! The excitement will fill up and you might want to share them with your partner, friend or parents! “Enjoyment ku enjoyment” just like how Ugandans say it.😜 Wish you the very best in this Motherhood journey.
TUHAME ❤️
