Some honest words to the mama's & mama's-to-be 💕

Melamar
pregnancy is beyond hard; the exhaustion, the nausea, the waiting, the discomfort, the preparation. You're checking this app constantly - 38 days to go! - and wondering if the rash you're experiencing is normal, or if your breech baby will flip in time for a natural delivery. Your so eager for the days to pass in anticipation of meeting the love of your life.
Then, the day that somehow took FOREVER is here and you become a mama and your world changes in a way you could have never imagined. All of a sudden you love deeper than you ever knew you could. And you're taking care of this little being you created who is helpless. The days & nights feel long but the weeks fly by fast and all of a sudden your baby has a personality and is laughing at you and playing with you and listening to you and in their own little way, loving you right back. 
My little Vera just turned 4 months old and I find my heart aching for when she was just a little pea swimming around in my belly. I know it's cliche but they really do grow fast. Mama's & mama's to be, it's a long, hard road that can so easily be taken for granted but it needs to be embraced because before you know it the moments pass you by. Wishing all you beautiful mama's nothing but the best with your new little bundles. xx
