Happy Mother's Day To all the beautiful Moms out there!
and the ones who might not feel so beautiful too!
When I first had my daughter I knew that my body would change but I had no idea how much!
A day after I had her the doctor came in and palpated my stomach and when he did It felt like he was mushing on a bag of jello.
After we brought my sweetie home I was....
let me see...
um...
how can I put it .....
A FLIPPIN' MESS!
Suddenly I had no shape...no wait I did.... I was the shape of a potato.
a big lumpy potato
and nobody told me that the boobs would turn into huge painful boulders after about a day of being a mom.
and the leaking! Every time the baby cried there seemed to be a faucet attached to them.
If I wasn't changing my blouse because of the boobs, then I was changing it because all of a sudden I was sweating all the time...I'm talking pit stains the size of Texas.
My feet were still swollen and my skin was dry.
and to top things off the Zippity Doo Daa was....was... lets just say every time I went to the bathroom, I yelled in pain...I sort of sounding like this...
Yes, Mommyhood was a big adjustment...It shocked me and it shook me
and from the beginning...from the moment I saw the extra line on that pregnancy test.
I knew my life would never be the same.
I had a beautiful new baby that I loved all my life, but I had just met.
Does that make sense?
I thanked God for every painful, ugly moment. I thanked God for it ALL!!!! I received the greatest gifts...My Two children.
Happy Mother's day!!!
Enjoy and God Bless!
Joanne

DeleteWhat came as a shock to me was how hard breast feeding was, I thought it would be easy but it wasn't daughter number one just wouldn't latch on
