It’s hard

I loved to write, I loved to write poems. I guess this is my chance to do come back and write some more. I have so much to share, so much I’ve learned. 

Everyone talks about being pregnant and all the symptoms you can get – from swollen hands and feet to morning sickness, the list goes on. Well, no one told me about postpartum. No one told me how hard it would be to learn how to breastfeed, to learn how to nap for the 1 to maybe 2 hours that you get while the baby’s asleep. Not about the exhaustion that sets in. It’s a complete 360 degree change in mindset where your body has to adjust physically and mentally. 

Today, it was a hard day for me. But however hard it gets, its always worth it just seeing my sweet child fall asleep. Please don’t grow up too fast. 

Being a Mom

I always wanted to be a mom. 

I knew I would put all my energy into it. 

I knew they would be my everything. 

A whirlwind later, I made it seemingly to the other side.

They said to sleep more.

They said it would be hard.

I didn’t know how hard.

They didn’t lie. 

To every pregnant person,

To every mother, every father,

You are my everyday heroes. 

To my mother and father, 

You have my endless love.
