I’m a mom, and… sometimes I look down at my baby in the middle of the night and just cry. Not always because I’m sad, but because I can’t believe this little person is mine. That I get to be the one they reach for. That somehow, in the middle of all the sleepless nights, exhaustion, worry, and moments where I wonder if I’m doing enough, I have never felt a love this big.
Motherhood is beautiful, but it’s also hard in ways I never knew it could be. I miss parts of who I was before, while also falling in love with who I’m becoming. I’m tired. I’m overwhelmed. I’m learning as I go. But when I hold my baby close and everything is quiet, I know I wouldn’t trade this life for anything.
I’m still becoming a mom every single day… and somehow, my baby is teaching me how to become me, too. ![]()
