No one talks about how life will change
How a new beautiful baby brings change
Wanna breastfeed?
Don’t forget your nursing bra, nursing pads and don’t forget to track how much water you’ve had …
Broccoli gives y’all both gas
It’s 3 am and everyone else is asleep
Sitting on the side of the bed allowing myself to weep
For the first 2 weeks make sure you get your rest.
Eat when she eats, and sleeping when she sleeps is what’s best …
Some days are easier than others
I can admit at times that I want to take my frustrations out on my lover
I remind myself to step back and meditate
And be cautious about the decisions that I make
Family and friends shower the baby with blessings
Everyone flocks with ooohs and awws
You damn right she’s cute
But when things get real my phone is mute
I appreciate those who text just to check on me
There’s much more to motherhood than what the eye can see
Your partner is the one who is supposed to be there to ALWAYS have your back
But that’s not reality and most times there’s no one there to pick up the slack
We are all human and have our own crosses to bare
So understand that there’s no one someone else can always be there
There’s no such thing as getting it all right
So let’s stop letting the quest for perfection keep us up late at night
The best thing I can do is to ditch the idea of perfection
Be patient with myself and others and take note of the daily lessons
We have access to everything we need and desire
But we keep adding gas and doubt to the fear fire
Breathe
Be still and know
Enjoy the journey
