Mother's Day 2020

  deserve to wear red lippies and post a shameless selfie (unfiltered at that) for self love on mother's day!

-for motherhood is not easy

and my road to it took a lot of crying and trying.

-my pregnancy was not easy and required countless ultrasounds (more or less 15 utz) and months of bedrest and a lot of medicines

-my delivery (less than 36 weeks) was induced and painful and expensive even via Normal delivery ()

-i had bladder atony which was more painful than my labor and which required me to use a catheter for 3 weeks

-i had to work at 6 weeks postpartum with no house help and that meant being home by 5pm to take over from the lola, wash & sterilize bottles and pump parts

-for continuing to work on my cases when the bub is asleep

-for pumping everywhere just to ensure Trystyn is breastmilk fed (and the pressure and blues that came with it)

-for i had ugly and unattractive days

-for there were tiring and exhausting and overwhelming days

-coz losing weight was hard AF

-for i had unappreciated days

but i deserve to wear red lippies and post a shameless selfie today most importantly for doing a great job in raising Trystyn. yes, I'm giving my self a pat on the back!

- for learning to be selfless and putting his needs over mine

- for realizing how stronger of a woman I am now that I have him

- for learning to appreciate MYSELF!

-for almost 2 months of being with T the whole day

-for the many many beautiful moments like Trystyn Thaddeus choosing to lie on my chest

- and for the many many more challenges of motherhood in the years to come.

happy mother's day to me!
