Don't be in a rush...

It annoys me so much when women are so over pregnancy in their last 8 weeks because they're tired and want their life back to normal. Newsflash! Your lives will never be normal again, especially not for the first 2 years and even then your lives will never ever be again how they used to be because being a parent changes you and changes your life (for the better) but it you think pregnancy is hard...brace yourselves for the first few months to first year of motherhood. There will be many many many sleepless nights, there will be tons of nappy changes, lots and lots of poo and puke, many many tears from your baby and your own, there will be emotional pain when your little one is in pain, there will still be pain (for a while) from your labour/delivery, there will be mental and emotional exhaustion, there will be mess and tons of it, there'll be so many changes, there will be trying to get back into your jeans and maybe not succeeding straight away, it will be hard but it will be beautiful because motherhood is tough and raw but it's also a gift and beautifully wonderful. Don't be in a rush to have your babies, because if you don't have any kids yet, you'll never get back the time as a non-parent. I know you feel rubbish, been there done that (haven't had easy pregnancies), I know you feel like you're ready and you want to meet your babies...but enjoy your alone time and time with your partners.
