Happy Mother's day! Being a mom is like no other job, long hours, the pay is terrible unless we can start paying the bills with love... It changes your life completely. There is no better thing in life as to watch your babies grow up and become little people.
They also change your body, your body is their home for 10mons, technically. And with that, comes the morning sickness, the big round belly and of course great skin and hair! Then the big day arrives and your life is changed forever. I remember looking at my post-pregnant body and thinking, how am I going to get back in shape. The belly, all sagging and fat. The extra layer of fat carried to nourish the baby through the pregnancy. The large breasts, ready to nourish.
Having a baby makes you alter your schedule, you are fatigued from the late night feedings and awakenings. Who wants to work out when you are so tired?
They grow a bit, and we say, ok, now it's time to get in shape, but then they start having playdates, and then sports, and then school...we never seem to get time because we are so busy with everything that we do for our children. We love it..mostly.
We must make time for ourselves, we must take care of our bodies even though we have a little belly bulge, AKA the Mommyhood badge of honor. Remember, you put the oxygen mask on yourself before you helps others. Take the time to take care of the temple that is your body. You only get one.
Happy Mothers day to all the moms I know!!
