Motherhood: the unsung heroines

 Yikes, where do I begin? 

I became a member of motherhood early on at 14. (How that happened is an entirely different blog story that I will tell one day soon.) I then had two more children later on at 23 and 25. 

Having children is a joy that you feel deep within. It is such a beautiful experience. But honey their are parts of this experience that are just ugly. As a mother I hadn't eaten alone, bathe alone, had the time to use the bathroom alone in a very very long time! When you decide to have children you trade your solitude for little people needing you to cook, provide, give love, ensure their safety, all hoping one day that they become productive citizens to the world! It is so uncanny because as a woman; we incubate the little ones for at least 9 months. During this period your body goes through things you never thought even existed. And it feels like this was the hardest part 😪 . But then they begin to grow. Ohhhh boy. There's all this personality, attitude, mannerisms and all sorts of newness that you don't have but the kid does. As they get older you begin to realize that incubation period was a walk in the park. Even if you went into labor early. And for an entire week the baby had your blood pressure at stroke level. So they just had to induce the labor and pull her on out (hi Hay mother loves you to the moon and back). 

We swoon at motherhood. It is absolutely one of the greatest gifts of life. But we gloss over the fine print. 

My children are now 23, 14 and 12. At these ages I am just getting back pieces of myself that's been gone for YEARS! No one talks about how much you really give up. It isn't a walk in a park. It is so messy. There isn't a manual that comes with the kid when you leave the hospital. No one talks about the late nights nor early mornings. You become glued to these little humans. You literally forget about yourself and pour all of you into them. You give away so much. You don't get to really sleep again or have anything for yourself until they are finally teenagers and aren't as needy anymore. I still can't crack open anything without someone magically appearing behind me asking me what do I have. Lol, that really never gets old. But at least now I can visit the restroom without having a little one in my lap. 

After all of this experience I still wouldn't change my journey for anything! 

This is the tip of the iceberg for me. More motherhood stories soon. 🫶🏾
