Motherhood

Motherhood has changed me - Not just in small simple ways but also in the most profound ways I never thought could and would take place. It has changed me to be the best version of myself because it has been a dream for so long it suddenly made me the happiest person I could ever be.

Ever since becoming a Mom, it made me discover sides of me I never knew existed. I suddenly discovered a more sentimental (bec I was already sentimental to begin with), compassionate, health conscious (bec, I suddenly feared to die so soon for my children) forgiving, playful version side of myself - But most especially, I've met a new side of me who is way stronger than who I really thought I was.

I remember, before I gave birth to my eldest son via normal delivery, I had so much fear that I may not make it without such complications bec of my very low pain tolerance but because the Lord, our Lord - is so gracious I still was able to deliver my youngest son 14 months after.

You see, Being a mom of two boys is not the easiest thing to do in the world considering that they are only 14 mos apart. They are honestly the wildest most active little creatures I've ever encountered in my life on a daily- but kidding aside, I have to admit that majority of my days as a stay at home mom are hard - multitasking every minute and always making sure both of their needs are met.

There are also those super hard times where I whisper to the Lord "time out po muna, kahit 10 mins of quiet lang." only to hear my youngest son crying for milk or my eldest throwing my laptop in the air because he thinks its fun. yeah right.
Yet, i always say to myself that despite all of these, I know for a fact that I wouldn't ever trade this life for the world.

Every day I push myself to my limits only to discover that in the end, A mothers love is truthfully and amazingly limitless.

Because the truth is, There are no timeouts even if it means not sleeping straight or waking up every 30 mins or so just to attend to my baby's needs. I could not stop them from asking for me and all that I have to do is cater them and love them with all my heart.
