I really want to take a moment out of my business to say Happy Mothers Day to all of the moms out there. The ones with healthy babies, sick babies, or just plain crazy babies, we all get each other, we can all relate. It’s hard as heck, some days more than others, but it’s the best. Our lives have so much more meaning than they ever have before. We’re creating a human being! Biologically, yes, but also one that will play a role in society and hopefully a great one. It’s a freaking hard and sometimes overwhelming job!
2 years ago, along came the biggest part of our story yet, our little baby boy. And boy, did he put us through the ringer. I think that’s the one thing I never really understood about being a mom, was how much it consumes you. Love literally consumes every inch of your body. When W was sick, my whole body and brain felt like it was constantly in pain. Not necessarily physical, but something so much deeper. And, when he’s happy, I want to jump with joy and act like a dancing fool with him. Oh, and the one thing I never really understood was the lack of sleep. I don’t think anyone really knows what sleep deprivation is like until they are thrusted into motherhood. I like my sleep, so thank goodness I like him more, ha!
So, cheers too all of your sleepless nights, your hair being pulled on (or hair that is destroyed because it is constantly in a bun), the food all over your walls, your muddy floors, your favourite shirt that is all stretched out, your stretch marks & cellulite, your laundry machine constantly running, your overworked coffee machine, your house filled with laughter & noise, your late night cuddles, your cheeks covered with kisses and best of all, cheers to you constantly hearing the best word in the word; “Mommy”.
P.s. Happy Mother’s Day Mom, I am so proud of you and am so thankful I had you to be there for me along this journey. I love you more than words can express. xoxo
