Diary: The gift of motherhood

Hi everyone, I am a 24-year-old mother of an amazing two-year-old boy. I think this platform is amazing for us as women to share our thoughts on motherhood or the potential thoughts of becoming a mother, because it is a beautiful feeling. I had my son when I was 21 and wow does it change your life for the better! It makes you put things into perspective and you soon realize it’s NOT about you anymore. You have a whole little human to worry about and cater to now. The first instincts after giving birth come out of nowhere it’s something that’s just in us! There is no guide or manual to tell us how to be moms, it just automatically happens. You will be surprised at how well you can adjust. Those sleepless nights will come and they’ll go, as your child gets older they tend to sleep better. Don’t get me wrong my son is so full of energy. He wants to play all day and after a long day at work it can be exhausting at times. Being a mother is a gift we have to truly value because not everyone will have the opportunity to experience this. Not only has my son pushed me to set goals, but he also pushes me to go even harder at accomplishing them.  I grow with him every day and I learn along the way. A mother’s work is NEVER DONE as you all may know or soon find out. Whatever situation you're in you can always make the best of it for your child, time is priceless they’ll thank you later!
