I have this conversation with clients all the time:
The days are long but the years are short, take advantage to enjoy every second you can with your little human- even when it’s tough.
Something no one warned me about is the constant grief I would experience as a mother. Emotional confusion as I celebrated accomplishments while also realizing my child would be closer to independence.
The first coo, rolling over, walking, talking, reading, to algebra honors, friendship discord, and completing 8th grade.
All we want is for our children to grow and to become better adults than us. But no one talks about grieving the fact that you’ll never experience that little, dependent, innocently curious person again. Never fit in one arm, never breastfeed again, never carried on your back. And yet how cool to see your hard work pay off as they go on to navigate life.
It really is bittersweet
So like this conversation always goes, stay home with your baby, sleep next to them, stare at them while they sleep, take every moment you can get cause before you know it- you’ll have a high schooler.
HOW do I have a HIGH SCHOOLER!!! 😭😭😭😭
