Some women wonder why in the world other women would want to be a mom. Why would we put our bodies through such a dramatic change with weight gain and stretch marks included. Why would we want to care for a screaming tiny human.
The love I have for this child is beyond any other love I have felt before. You might be wondering "what about Mitch?" It's a different kind of love.
This isn't sleep deprivation talking. I am being honest. I love being a mom.
As I look at him in his most peaceful state I realize that this is what I've always wanted.I want someone to be 100% dependent on me.
I wrote that about three months ago. Man oh man I had no clue.
I had no clue that this amazing little baby would cause me so much hardship.
I was in bliss, or sleep deprivation more like it.
I of course love William more than anything but now i know the struggles that I am facing.
I still have a ton to learn but i am more aware of how hard it is to be a mom. Even at the moment of me writing this I have a wriggly baby in my lap trying to shove his whole fist in his mouth.
I still wouldn't trade it for the world. I love my seemingly constant crier. His gummy grin makes all the hard times melt away in an instant.
Now the title of this post is " Why Being a New Mom Is the Best Job Ever" and here is why:
1. They don't know of anyone more important. Yes there will be times where they won't let you put them down, no matter what you are doing. But in their eyes you are their number one. You are the one they can rely on 100% of the time, even those times that you want to give up.
2. It's in our biology. Literally females are biologically made to be mothers. Wither you you think you are good with kids or not you are meant to have offspring. Your DNA says so. Motherly instincts are connected with that.
3. There is no other Joy. After hours of playing the game of "oh good you're asleep now I can put you down and do things, just to have them wake up screaming 10 minuets later" game you would think it's time to give up. And you're right, it is time to give up, time to give up trying to get anything done and just sit there holding your little one while they sleep. The peace it will bring to your heart will last you long enough to get you through the rest of the day.
4.You finally learn that life really shouldn't be taken for granted. There are so many worries and scary times as a new mom. If my husband could earn a dollar for the times I've asked him "Is he breathing?" we would be living comfortably.But once you know that they are okay just the way they are you tend to thank your higher being much more for the life that has been entrusted to you.
5. Finally, You learn what real love and sacrifice is. I don't mean motherly love I mean love from your family and friends. You learn Christ like love. My husband works full time, goes to school part time, and then comes home and takes care of Will. He gets up with him in the middle of the night to feed him, he stays up with him until he falls asleep, when he gets home form work he takes him from me so I can have a break. If thats not love I don't know what is.
