Living with a newborn: Being a mother

I'm seeing everyday that being a mother changes you so much. You become more alert, put your child before yourself, become more organized, and begin to plan a lot more. The fact that you have another life to think about besides yourself automatically pushes you to be more responsible if you weren't before.

How people perceive you also changes-- in a good way; which means there is a small pressure to make sure at all times you carry yourself well because your child is also watching you. Despite how small they are.. When you observe them you can see they have some type of understanding even though they can't talk yet!

As a mother you even put pressure on yourself to make sure your child gets the best, or even more than what you had when you were little.
With my son in particular all I want is the best.. I want him to be happy, and he has everything that he needs.
God will help me.

Being a mother is definitely a challenge because there are people who have been mothers longer than myself who have tons of advice to give-- which is always appreciated. It can be intimidating at times because it can make you feel as if you're doing something wrong.. Or what you're doing isn't good enough..

But you are the person that knows your child best and as long as your child is content, and healthy what else is there to ask for?
