What no one tells you about becoming a Mother. February 9, 2020 / Motherhood / 18 Comments

Being a mom is a lot of things.

Its seeing your child for the first time and being blown away by how much you could possibly love such a small bundle of joy.

Its long days and long nights trying to figure out how to put that baby to sleep.

Being a mom is letting go of that tiny finger while she takes her first steps.

Its washing her face covered in yogurt and helping her grasp a spoon.

Its laughing at her Santa beard made out of bubbles in the bath tub.

Its playing tea party for the fifth time, and reading Goodnight Moon just one more time.

Its being lonely when all your old friends go out on a Friday night and you dont have a sitter.

Its feeling worried that youll have to choose between your job and your child.

Its the knot in your belly as you take your sick child to the emergency room the first time.

Its Daddy, spin me around again and again.

Its hiding your broken heart when your child doesnt make the team she she really, really wanted to.

Its sleeping in the bathroom because the stomach bug infected everyone.

Its rushing home to make dinner and staying up past bedtime to finish the dishes.

Its staying strong when you want to cry. Or sometimes its crying when you want to stay strong.

Its getting up in the morning when you really want to sleep in.

Its picking up mismatched socks, hundreds of legos, and thousands of Goldfish.

Its packing a lunch with a note that says I love you, Kid.

Its letting them go to their first sleepover and anxiously watching your phone for a text.

Its arguing and making up.

Its apologizing countless times.

And forgiving as much.

Its smiling as they drive away in their first car.

And wishing theyd just come home soon.

Its showing up to their game and waving from afar.

Its hugging them even when they tell you it is embarrassing.

Its listening to them when you want to talk.

And biting your tongue when you want to yell.

Its allowing the space to happen, when all you want to do is cuddle with them in bed.

And letting them cry alone when they say they need alone time.

But being there when they are ready for a hug.

Its realizing that My Little Pony and Princesses are far behind.

And thats OK.

Because she is still your little girl.

Its taking them to their first college dorm or apartment room.

And setting up a microwave.

And a bedside table.

and

Putting a note on their bedside before you go that says, I love you, Kid.

And letting go

And being strong

Until you let the floodgates open on the drive home.

And rejoicing in it all.

And promoting a great adventure for her.

Cheering her on.

Being her greatest advocate.

And counselor

And reminding her that God is with her ALWAYS….

Its hard.

And beautiful.

And terrifying.

And delightful.

Being a mom

What is being a Mom?

If you are a Mom, you are incredible.

To all the moms out there today who dont know what it is to be a mom.

It is LOVE.

Thats it.

And all.
