Life has been lifing.
Thereās nothing I know to be more true about myself than the fact that I am grateful to be a mother.
But it can feel relentless sometimes.
Motherhood is just an ongoing contradiction.
I need to sleep but Iāll miss holding her in my arms in the peacefulness of 2am.
I need to see my friends and feel more myself but I feel so guilty for missing bedtime.
I love my career and what I do but I still cry after some of the harder drop-offs.
My friendships are hanging on by a thread but I donāt have time to reply.
I should prioritise some time for myself and do something I enjoy, but when I get to it Iām too tired to leave the sofa.
Our family unit thrives in routine but it can feel repetitive and boring some days.
Plus, thereās the chaos that ensues when anything not planned for happens like kidsā sickness, childcare not being possible, or in our case a bloody roof leakā¦
Iām shattered but in love.
Everyone says these will be the days we miss.
But pressure to enjoy it all is just another thing to add to my long to-do list.
When I thought about starting a mum & baby class, it was for all those reasons above š because when you come together and hear other parents having these
same struggles/feelings/thoughts a little weight is lifted š
Always happy to chat mum stuff, non-mum stuff and hold your baby while you do your lunges when you coming along to Warrior Fit: Mum & Baby
Thank you & for this šø
