Motherhood is beautiful but not easy

 Motherhood is beautiful but not easy..

The blues are real..not many talk openly about it because of the norm that moms have to always be strong and have no right to feel down..and though i agree that moms have to toughen up but post partum blues are real and most,if not all, moms feel it. Im not talking about postpartum depression...that's something far more serious and scary and something some moms sadly experience...

But the blues, yeah they are real..i find myself crying at times that aside from the normal postpartum aches and pains, i had to have bladder atony, that i still have a catheter on that limited my movements and my ability to take care of T, that i have to depend so much on others and most heartbreaking is that my baby won't latch on me when even from the start of my pregnancy i was determined to breast feed.. (but thank God for breast pumps!)

The blues they are real.. but it helps that you acknowledge your feelings and not let it overwhelm you too much..it helps that you think these are just minor things to thnk about..that it's all about perspective..

and it helps a whole lot that you have people to help you through the transition, who understand (or tries to understand) that what you are going through is not easy, and appreciates all the effort you are giving even when it has been difficult, and tries to understand that you may make mistakes but you also have that maternal instinct and you want nothing but the best for your child.

And it sure helps a lot that you have a cute lil one who makes you want to be better for him everyday

Motherhood is beautiful but its not easy and im taking it one day at a time.
