adjusting to motherhood has been tough in that fac

adjusting to motherhood has been tough in that fact that I had to give up a part my independence... but also valuable in that I’ve taught myself the wonderful lesson of grace.

because I’d be lying if I said that I felt I could do it all.

sure I could, but it takes a lot of outside help and giving up time with Sidney, which I’m not ready to do.

i simply love our time together. from his sweet smiles in the mornings to cuddling him for his middle of the night feeds. these moments are so short and sweet; i want to cherish every single second because I know I’ll never get it back. time is precious in that way. and staying home with him is such a privilege. this I know.

yet there are days where I feel like I’m not doing enough with my career, around the house, etc. and admittedly had put a lot pressure on myself to get back work full time after 3 months. but then covid happened. and plans changed. everything changed. so now I do what I can.

less perfection = more value in time.
less anxiety = more acceptance.

always willing to adjust my expectations. looking for the bright side in things. leaning into motherhood as best I can. ❤️
