Honest motherhood: Baby Blues


While this post makes me feel extremely vulnerable, I know that there is another mom out there needing to read this. 

I see so many blogs out there that glamorize Motherhood, setting unrealistic expectations on ourselves and the journey. Motherhood is definitely fun and beautiful, but honestly, sometimes, motherhood is messy. It’s emotional. It’s tiring. It’s frustrating. It’s overwhelming. Things could be amazing and you feel you have control over everything and then one day you just crash. You may feel a bit down for a few days and then go back to normal, they call it the baby blues. 

If you are going through this, I just want to remind you that you are not alone and alot of moms go through it. You are entitled to your feelings. If you need a moment, you take it and nobody is allowed to make you feel like you are blowing things out of proportion because you’re not. You have so much on your plate, and I bet you are seriously kicking ass. From physically/mentally/emotionally recovering from being pregnant to giving birth, back to raising a Family, holding down a household, while spending all day, every day keeping little people healthy and happy and you are doing it all on very little sleep. I get it, but not everyone does. 

You can take time off to just be real and let it out. Say whatever is on your mind. It doesn’t make you weak, and it certainly doesnt make you a bad mom. It’s just a bad moment. And then you will find balance again, you will pick yourself up and continue to be amazing because you are seriously super. Sometimes it just takes a good cry with a loved one. Or a slice of cherry cheesecake. Sometimes you just need to be reminded that your family loves you and they appreciate you, they probably tell you everyday already, but a little extra TLC never hurt anyone. 

    Big hearts deserve big hugs. You owe yourself the love that you so freely give to others.
