Hey moms! Here is my truth about being a mom. It’s a completely different lifestyle that forces you to change your priorities and yourself. I never truly realized how hard it was going to be, but also… how beautiful it would be too. When my baby wakes up so many times during the night, I lose sleep, but I think to myself that she needs me because I’m her safe space. When I lay her down and walk away, she starts crying hysterically when she can no longer see me, and I think she probably feels abandoned even though I’m only gone for a couple of minutes. Yes, I lose sleep. Yes, I lose my patience, my alone time, and sometimes even my sense of identity. But all of this has made me realize that through sleep deprivation, postpartum depression, not having time to clean, eat, or even brush my teeth I’m still here. I’m someone who will keep being there for her no matter the obstacle, because she is a huge part of my heart.
