Parenting is one tough of a job, at least the toughest I have done so far and probably the toughest I will ever have to do. You discovered you are expecting your child, while you might be the happiest person alive, you might be as well scared to death of not screwing up along the way. At least that was how I felt as a first-time mom.
When I found out I was pregnant with my son, I was half excited 😊 and half scared. The thought of me being responsible for another human being entirely almost let fear cripple my thoughts.
But then, one thing was for sure, I knew right then, I will swim across the seven oceans for my baby, whatever it will take to give him the best of me, I knew I will never hesitate to do it.
When he finally arrived, I felt like the luckiest and happiest woman on earth, I couldn't believe I was handed over such a precious gift. But even then, my fear intensified. What if I failed him, what if I messed up, what if I make mistakes along the way? There were so many what if haha. All these questions and more were slipping into my thoughts at every chance they get.
But then, I chose courage, at least I let my courage be more than my fears. I started taking each day as it comes, deal with its challenges and enjoy every beautiful moment that came with it. Along the line, mistakes were made, lessons were learned, I'm wiser, stronger, more courageous now than ever.
It has been over three years, and when I look back, I'm proud of not just how far but how well I have come. The journey wasn't all rosey, there were many bumps and as well a lot of beautiful moments along the line.
I have learned, I have grown and more mature in every way than when I started over three years ago.
When I look at my son, I'm proud of the kind of mom I'm becoming and all I feel is joy and fulfillment. I'm truly grateful for having him in our home. Has it been easy, not at all, will it get easier, not so sure either, but one thing is for sure, I'm stronger and more determined to continue to embrace my motherhood journey. Because I know that at the end of the day, every bit of my efforts is more than worth it.
The amazing thing about me being a mother is that it bend me but not break me, it bring out the best in me and is making me work on my worst, it make me discover the strength and courage I never knew I had inside. In short, it mold me into the best version of myself ever.
This is a reflective post of a decision I have made lately that change many things about me. It changes my worldview, how I love, how I relate to people and has taught me to enjoy every little beautiful moment without letting them slip away and to focus on the things that really matter. This is my response to this week's Ladies of Hive contest.
Thank you very much for your support always, till I come your way again, bye for now. ❣️❣️🥰

@funshee Parenting truly is one of the toughest jobs anyone can take on. The mix of joy and fear that comes with expecting a child is something many parents deeply understand. That feeling of being excited yet scared of making mistakes is completely real.
In my opinion, parenting continues until a child is fully grown and able to stand on their own and even then, we are never fully done. There will always be a need for some level of guidance and support even when our children are married 😆😆.
As first time parents, we learn every day. We adjust, we grow, and we do our best even when it does not feel perfect. And that is okay. There is no manual, but love, patience, and intentional effort go a long way. Thank you for sharing ma'am. We receive grace to be responsible parents in wisdom and financially.
