The Working Mom

When 2021 started as a newly single mom, one of my top priorities was to provide for my son. In this new life chapter, little love has taught me to be purposeful, diligent, and superwoman. Honestly, I have never thought that being a mom could be so beautiful and a 24-hour full-time job. My mother, grandma, sister are mama’s. Now I am a mama being able to experience their lives as the mommy who is in charge of cleaning, laundry, cooking, working, having late meals, taking late showers, and caring for your child. Every time I used to see them do all this stuff, I would tell them to take little breaks. Now, I am the mommy doing all at once in the house and learning to be everything, and maintaining good health.

Meanwhile, little love is going through a growth spurt; he has begun Leap 2, in which babies could be a little more aware of patterns, color, clingy, moving images, and motor skills. Little love could become pretty upset all of all of the sudden. He turned two months today, and I am two weeks postpartum. Our health is completely boosted thanks to breastfeeding. I have lost twenty-eight pounds before one-hundred and sixty-eight pounds from when little love was born. I started a new eating habit of my calories intake while breastfeeding. Another good habit has been self-care writing. It has helped me become centered and more self-aware as a new mom facing this new life.

This past week, I began preparing for my remote teaching employment, and my little love has become clingy towards me. He is a lot more shyer around other people than usual. Recently, my parents did an emergency trip to the Dominican Republic, and they have two weeks back from their trip, and my little love has not yet become comfortable with my mother again. It is a start over my mother's process even though he loves her singing; he can not be in a room without seeing his mama's face. I know many of you readers might believe he has become a little too spoiled. But, I am a multitask mommy who was in charge of it all when my parents were away for two weeks.

Although I am the multitasking mom, I have come to realize I did not take into consideration that I will be doing recorder lectures, which in this case, I will have to nurse little love before the four hours course and nurse him again during my class breaks. Furthermore, little love is sleeping more extended hours, which will work great with my work schedule and my sleeping health. I am thankful for Jacqueline on Instagram, an amazing mother of three beautiful kids who shares her tips on mommy stuff and health. She shares her three months old sleep schedule routine, and I decided to follow on her blog piece tips and start my prince sleep schedule as a one-month-old.

Let me tell you all the sleep schedule has worked beautifully for us. We sleep longer at night. During the day is all about playtime, nap time, and feeding. This technique has done wonders for me as a single mom and entrepreneur. Going back to remote work is exciting and fun because I will be doing something I love teaching digital photography.
