5 Ways Your Life Changes When You Become A Mom

12:29 pm Blog Post, Lifestyle, Mom Life

I remember when I first found out I was pregnant with my first son, I was so excited I felt like I was dreaming. It actually took me a few weeks after I found out I was pregnant to actually realize it was not a dream. I would hear so many stories from my friends and they made it seem like becoming a mother is like the best thing in the world and your life gets easier. I mean it is one of the best things in life, but let me be honest with you, your life does not get easier, but it gets better as being a mother is the most rewarding job.

After I had my kids, I noticed that my life changed a lot and I would like to discuss them with you. So, please do not leave this page, until you finish reading this post.

1. You no longer have any privacy – I used to hear a lot when I was pregnant with my kids and I just ignored it. I wish that I did not! You really have no privacy . Every single time I go to the restroom, I either have the baby crawling and following me or Josiah walking inside the bathroom to talk my ear off. You hardly have time to yourself, the time that you had to yourself ends the same day you give birth.

2. Your body changes – Some women bodies do change. Some gain weight or stretch marks while some become depressed because of this change. As women, it is a gift to give birth and we all have to support and encourage each through the process of motherhood. I always tell women to not let the weight or stretch marks bother them and to just try and focus on their bundle of joy and being the best mother they can be.

3. Laundry day turns into laundry days – I remembered when it was just my husband and I, laundry day was just on Saturdays. Now, with two kids it is so much different and we had to add another day to the get all laundry completed.

4. You no longer sleep within regular hours – When I first got married my husband and I would sleep in until 2 o’clock in the afternoon on Saturdays. We were living life, but when our children came into our world that changed. We get up at least 6 a.m. every morning and our kids are our alarm clock. We either hear the baby cry or Josiah saying that he is so hungry. There’s no more sleeping as the only time you have to sleep is either when they are sleeping or when you put them to sleep.

5. Money will be tight – Being a parent is an extra expense added to your monthly bills. Children are expensive but as mothers we always want to put our kids before us and make the sacrifice to provide the best for them. You are going to want to always want to buy them things before you buy yourself anything. It’s just a motherly thing that we do right ? When I pay all my bills, what is left goes to my children. They deserve the best in life.

Thank you for taking the time out to read this entire post about my opinion on five things that changes when you become a mother. Please give me your feedback and let me know about your experiences as we are here to help each other.

Sometimes people will envy you because you don’t Sometimes people will envy you because you don’t look like what you’ve been through. Some may want to see you struggle so they can feel like they're better than you. Some may want to see you struggle so they can laugh at you. What they don’t know is that God made you be the strong woman that you are today. What you went through didn’t kill you, it made you stronger. So stand tall and keep your head up high. Remember, you had to go through that season. You had to let go of that negative energy. You had to let go of those people in your life that only wanted to bring you down. You had to do it!You made the right decision.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr had a dream and that dre Dr. Martin Luther King Jr had a dream and that dream still matters.

Dr. King was a man that wanted equality, freedom, and peace. If it wasn't for him a lot of us wouldn't be there today. He fought for what's right and he didn't allow fear to stop him. We're grateful for all that he has done, but it doesn't stop there. The world still has a lot of changes to make. Let's do our part and love each other. Let's work together and never be silent because his dream still matters, her dream still matters, and our dream still matters. What's your dream?

One of the best things that ever happened to me is One of the best things that ever happened to me is becoming their mother.
👩‍👦‍👦

Before I became a mom, I was just a girl. I was just a wife, sister, daughter, and friend that just knew what it felt like to be love by others. When I became a mom, I was introduced to a different type of love. A love that's unconditional that I receive every day. This love is full of happiness, joy, smiles, and giggles.  This love teaches me to be patient and to continue to strive to do my best because I want the best for them. The bond and love that we share is a feeling that's cannot be described in words. My kids remind me how grateful and blessed I am to be there mother.
Somedays I feel like #momlife is like a rollercoaster, but each day is full of love that makes my day better. Some days are better than some. Somedays I'm stressed out and feel like I'm not doing my best as a mom but that’s a lie. My kids love me and it's a reason why God choose me to be their mother.

 So, whenever you’re having a bad day, look at your children. Stop what you’re doing and remember your hard pregnancy. Remember the first time you laid eyes on them. Remember that you're an amazing mother. Hug and cuddle with your babies and even cry if you have to, but dust it off and get back up. You're the best mom for your children. 

What’s your best part about being a mom?
You’re enough. You’re beautiful. You’re love You’re enough. You’re beautiful. You’re loved. It doesn’t matter what this world brings, I want you to always remember who you are. #Fableticspartner 

Sometimes it’s so easy to get distracted from your goals when you see others reaching their goals. Sometimes it’s so easy to feel like you’re not good enough or beautiful when you see others on social media. You shouldn’t think that way. We were all created to look different. If we all looked the same, it would look weird. 

Remove that low self-esteem and get some @fabletics. Start to work on building up your self-confidences. Remove that negativity and start showing the world the real you. Others are waiting to see her. 

Leave a 💙 if you know you’re beautiful and that today is going to be a good day.

Mamas, don’t raise your children to be racist. Mamas, don’t raise your children to be racist. 

Yesterday, I had to unplug from being on social media as much. I had so many thoughts going through my mind. Then the fear and frustration started. I tried to not think or talk about what happened, but it was hard. Some of you may remember last year when I posted about what happened to Josiah. He walked up to one of our neighbors and said hi. The guy ignored him and kept walking. This was before covid, but I’ll never forget it.  When things continue to happen in the world it makes you remember things that have previously happened. It makes you wonder when it will stop.  Wondering if the world will ever get better. Wondering if people will ever change. Let’s do our part and do better.

Don’t you think we deserve change?
