Stepping Into Motherhood Things Have Changed Forever
Sunday, October 17th, 2010Babies make us marinate in life. You are forced to dip below the surface, stop everything else and just sit there, taking in all the flavours and things around you.
Its feels as though online buy without prescription Camagra cheap time has changed forever, stepping into Motherhood feels as though the time line of life has warped, its now unrecognizable but, in all the madness, sleep derivation and new ‘rules’, I love it. I feel like I am trying to do a million things at once, and I’m crazily looking for more, I’m sleep deprived, confused, tired and so deeply in love. The most lost for words to describe time in my life. Period.
I was told by my Mother that having one child you dont change almost anything in your life but more than one you have to change everything. My life has changed almost completely already with just the one baby, and in the short time she has been in my life. My current daily habits are light years away from what they used to be, that of the working person. No more cant go home until sunrise because I feel like it. No more ‘one too many’ drinks acomplia purchase because I feel like it. No more fluffing around getting dressed to go out. No more quick dashing to the shops. No more just grabbing my wallet and keys and heading out. Everything has cahnged, I have added a whole new dimension to my being, mother.
Its a giant slap across the face, I was so unprepared, so unorganized, so disorientated. I bought all the books, read even more, talked to friends, family, even random strangers in stores (the bump is a great conversation starter), even spent hours online reading anything even slightly related to babies and pregnancy. went to baby classes, yoga classes with other pregnant mums, all the baby shops. But somehow, none of this prepared me for reality. I found a lot is sugar coated, skipped over or its assumed you already know somehow. I really do wish that someone sat me down and gave me the full low-down on what its really like as a mum and what I was about to go through. Not the birth, obviously there’s plenty on that out there and even more people to tell gory stories about it too. But what I really needed was someone to tell me how they felt, the emotions, the pain, the life changes, the huge and unrealistic demands a new baby has on everything. Motherhood should not be closed away indoors where no one will ever know unless you are already going cialis online through it yourself - wheres the real life story?!
Look, I understand everything is different for each of us and this experience is no exception, but seriously I have spoken with a lot of new mums and they all feel the same. You are made to feel like yoy must smile, be happy and tell great stories about how much you love being a new mum, yet you feel so crushed, confused and angry on the inside! Babies are like the season of spring. They are so amazing, gorgeous, new, precious and sweet (even when crying, the cute little things) but they are also so much more than this and mums need to talk realistically with each other and friends. Friends who haven’t have babies yet need to have real information about what its really like.
The more information you have, the more you can prepare yourself. Instead of spending the first few months in a complete ‘am I dreaming or am I awake’, ‘I’m so tired I could just sleep forever’, ‘what am I doing wrong’ type of autopilot/zombie like phase, you can at least take comfort knowing its normal, it happens and there are solutions, real solutions to a lot of the problems that babies can cause.
