Becoming a mom was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever done. I always knew that I wanted to be a mom, but never knew that it would actually come true. I also never knew that I’d be someone’s wife.

I am a mom. I am a wife.

Becoming a mom has taught me to go without rest, to realize not all things go the way we want them to. Its taught me a feeling that I’ve never experienced before. It has taught me, true love. Unconditional love.

Yes, my husband shows me unconditional love but its just different form of love. I know my daughter won't leave me, I know she’ll always be there. I created my daughter. I made her. I pushed her out. I gave birth. She is apart of me.

I have learned that no matter what as a mom, I will never be perfect. Although she will look up to me and no matter what, I will always try to impress her and be the very best person I can be. It will not be all rainbows and unicorns like everyone makes it out to be.

From the midnight bottles to the sleepless nights to the days where you feel like you are going to explode from all of the stress and being so exhausted. I have no clue how the other moms make it look so easy, because I can honestly tell you, it is NOT easy. There is no way to sugarcoat being a new mom. Or even a mom of 3.

I can tell you that although it is hard and not as easy as others make it, having a mini me that looks up to me is the best feeling in the world. It makes up for all the hard times and the times where I become so stressed and tired.

I love being a mom. I love my 7-month-old. You are mine. You are beautiful. You are apart of me. Thank you for teaching me so much about being a mom. Thank you for making me a better me. Thank you for bringing joy into my life.
