on motherhood

some days...

every single part of me is overcome with such love and happiness that i think my heart might burst.

going to the bathroom in private, is a luxury

taking a long hot shower can make. my. day.

carrying 30 lbs in my belly and 30 lbs on my hip make me feel like i'm strong, but doing it for more than 5 minutes and i'm sweating like a pig and looking like i'm crazy

having a toddler fall asleep on my prego belly and a baby kicking my rib cage and bladder at the same time is the most uncomfortable thing, but the look on that toddler's face while he's asleep and the feel of the baby's kicks in my belly. pure heart melt.

i feel like i'm breaking and can't hold it together

i'm overwhelmed with stress and worry and pure. exhaustion.

i'm filled with love and gratitud

i wonder how i'll ever manage with two

i look back and am proud of how much more patient and loving i've become

i cry

i laugh

i think, life doesn't get much better than this

i wonder what the heck was i thinking getting married and having two babies in three years

i wonder, how did i ever get so blessed?

motherhood. no one can prepare you for the biggest, most challenging job in the world. But, it comes with the best benefits ever.

No matter what, for all the good and bad, I wouldn't change a thing.
