New mom life

I didn’t know.

By Jazmin RichardsPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

The new mom life.

I didn’t know how much love I could have for one human being. I also didn’t know how much one person can test my patience. Mom life.

I didn’t know how tired I would be. I also didn’t know how one smile or one giggle can make my day. Mom life.

I didn't know that I would have all these insecurities. I also didn’t know that someone’s existence can make me want to be the best I can be. Mom life.

I didn’t know I would feel so anxious at times. I also didn’t know how grateful I would feel. Mom life.

I didn’t know how much things would actually change. I also didn’t know that change would be so sweet. Mom life.

I haven’t experienced the toddler stage yet, I’ll let you know how that goes.

Life, but especially mom life, has unique ups and downs. Here’s to a beautifully messy new mom life.
