Photo of Bougainvillea on the mandatory one walk a day for sanity
I have a one-month old and he’s my first, I love him so much but sometimes I am mourning my old life I had before. I know that this is normal because there has been so much change in such a short period of time. 10 months of your body changing during pregnancy, eating differently, walking differently, carrying a whole human inside of you and now you’re up at 3AM feeding the baby for 7-days a week, months on end (it seems). When your friends and family are enjoying their lives normally. But I tell myself each time, it’s all temporary.
It’s just a season and you will look back and be like wow that all happened so fast! But I feel you I too mourned and still mourn my old life. I’m so happy to have my new best friend but I constantly think about how crazy it is that not that long ago I was living a completely different existence
The beginning is always hard but i promise you it gets better and some days you will look back and miss those moments. Being a mom is such a blessing that comes with challenges. You are doing so great!
the Bougainvillea is beautiful! I used to have a yellow one. Getting out and walking will definitely help but make sure to take time for yourself even if it is just taking a hot bath. you can’t pour from an empty cup and need to take care of yourself too. I know it is hard but your important too
