Being a first-time mom has been the most fulfilling yet scariest experience of my life. From the moment I found out I was pregnant I became the most cautious person. I cut everything out that I even thought was not safe to eat or do. Which I do not see changing anytime in the near future...or ever for that matter! I am completely okay with the fact that my life is no longer just mine own but more my son's.
However, it has been a huge transformation going from working full-time and going to school to becoming a stay-at-home mom taking classes part-time. I used to think that juggling school amongst working 40+ hours was exhausting...I have come to realize now that I was so wrong! I went from working 40+ hours 5 days a week to 24 hours 7 days a week! Most days I feel like a zombie with the lack of sleep I get a night and also due to the fact I am also expecting baby number 2! But, even with all the lack of sleep and lack of me time I am so grateful to have such a beautiful and intelligent baby boy. He amazes me everyday and I learn something new about him and myself. I can't wait to experience and share all the new adventures with him as well as the new baby!
Wow!! There is never an end to the exhaustion of raising kids! But the joys always outweigh everything else! Enjoy them!!
