The joys of motherhood.
Motherhood has not only brought me great joy but has come with such a huge change in all aspects of my life. Motherhood is a huge challenge and most days I cannot believe how lightly the world takes it, I consider women who can take care of more than 4 young children the heroes of society. Until I became a mother myself I did not understand the magnitude of the task at hand for most women who are parents, children are demanding and as a mother you have to show up for them even on days where you don’t feel like showing up for yourself. I have dedicated two years of my life to just being a mother, I was off the belief that if I left them too soon I would have never gotten those two years back.
There is nothing as beautiful as hearing your child learn his first words, watching him learn to walk for the first time and watching them become a full blown curious human being with their own thinking capacity. There is a closeness that I wanted with my twins through breastfeeding but I did not get the opportunity to experience it, to be honest I am not sure if I would have been able to cope with breastfeeding twin boys, they are such a force. I realised the better stage of being a mom is when they can’t walk and can’t talk, I miss cuddling them and also the peace of them not being all over the place. Once they start walking and talking it becomes a circus and no one mother can handle all of that on their own. The high for me has been watching them grow, I am also happy that they are such beautiful, healthy and lovely boys considering how difficult my pregnancy was, my boys love to fight each other and that remains my low for now.
