Hello lovelies, we really wanted to put up a Mother’s Day post earlier than now but the demands of motherhood kept tugging us. Now that we have a few minutes (with girl number 1 leaning on us and intruding into our bowl of salad), let’s talk. From the day we became a mother till now, many things have changed about us. Some are expected while some are totally unexpected. Some make us want to cry while others make us laugh. Motherhood is quite an interesting journey. Here are some of the things that are different about us now:
1. Our tummy
We think this is body part that reminds us about mommyhood more than any other. It went from being smooth and flat to being twisted, flabby and round. Each time we take a shower, we look down on our tummy and wish it could revert to its original state.
2. Our sleeping habits
We always wondered how people could sit on a couch in the living room and sleep. After having our third baby, we found myself sleeping uncontrollably on the couch while sitting. We even sleep and dream. A full-night uninterrupted sleep is a rare luxury. A lot of days and nights seem like one day to us because we somehow live continuously. We hope our baby girl gets to sleeping through the night really fast. Any tips on how we could achieve this? She’s a year old in case you’re wondering.
3. Our memory
The other day we held the hand of another woman’s child at school, thinking it was the hand of girl number 2. Let us speak to myself: “Precious we're totally shocked by this!” we also have so much running in our head that we go to a part of the house and totally forget why we got there. This wasn’t us before.
4. Our goals
When we came to the America, our goal wasn’t to be a stay-at-home mommy. It’s been two years and all we do is change diapers, cook food and tell stories. But you know what? We're totally enjoying telling these stories on
our blogWe ended with our goals because that is the biggest thing that motherhood changed about us. It didn’t stop us from dreaming. However, it has made us see new opportunities to channel our dreams and for that, we are totally grateful! Someone said let your kids be a reason and not an excuse. We totally agree.In all, the joys of motherhood far surpasses the ‘perils’. It’s an opportunity to love, and to get loved back. It’s an opportunity to raise humans and instill the right values in them right from when they take their first breath. This job comes with fantastic benefits!Happy mother’s day to you, you and YOU. Thank you so much for always reading! What has motherhood changed about you? Let’s talk.
