My Dearest of Future New Moms,
There will be this day many days from now where you will feel a kind of tired you've never felt before. You may be juggling 8 hour work days on 3 hours of sleep. You may have poop and spit up all over your freshly pressed work shirt. You may wonder how you made it to and from work in one piece. You may have different colored shoes on, smudged mascara and a run in your tights. You may be a version of yourself you don't recognize.
But you will walk into your nursery that you spent months designing in your head. You will stand over the crib you dreamed about for weeks and you will look at this little life you created and you were realize that it just isn't about YOU anymore. And hopefully he or she will glance up at you and smile. And all those moments you asked yourself how you are going to make it through another sleepless night, they disappear like water down a drain.
It may not make sense in the moment. It may not make sense when you're 8.5 months pregnant and asking yourself if it's ever going to end, but that moment your baby locks eyes with you and lets you know you're the most important person in his or her universe, it will make sense then. And those are the moments that matter.
You will love that moment.
Xoxo,
A Newer Mom
