That’s what motherhood is.
If they say adulthood is about delayed gratifications and the acceptance of responsibilities, motherhood is a heavy-duty touchstone towards adulthood.
You not only truly have the life of another human being depending upon you, but you live and breathe for him/ her.
2nd week into my new job and I’m still trying to adjust to the many ways my life has changed. The most challenging being breastfeeding.. And the fact that my days go by small intervals between hour-feedings and maintaining some social life through texting with my free hand whilst latching baby on with mybrestfriend.
But when I look down at her little face, it touches something deep within me that makes the battle of endurance worthwhile. When I get too tired or breakdown and cry, I get over it and a new day and lease of energy will return. I hope I can persist.
Wishing for more help but also thankful that hubby has been supportive and over-bearing when I lose my patience so far!
