Motherhood

1. There's no tougher job than being a mom!

2. I respect my parents and love them in a new way.

3. I no longer rely on a clock, my baby now sets my schedule.

4. Sleep is a luxury.

5. Going out - will never be the same. What used to be a ten minutes to get ready now take forty-five minutes. Packing a diaper bag, car seat, stroller, etc.

6. Juggling a new baby and work is not easy. How on earth do you all mothers make it into work on time? When I'm at work, I keep thinking about my baby! Currently my parents in-law sit for my son while I'm at work (Alhamdulillah) but I worry I'll be miss special moment they'll get to see.

7. During pregnancy, I've always wondered if my jeans still fit me after birth & the answer is NO. My hips had changed. They were wider even though I weighed less. I miss my body! Haha

8. Calm a crying baby, that's a skill. It's not a hard skill but it's something that requires skill. Sometimes I succeed and sometimes I fail. Haha

9. I didn't realize how silly I'd be. I'm normally pretty reserved but whenever I'm with my little emperor, I'm constantly talking, singing and making goofy faces and sounds.

10. I try to be a better mom everyday.


My little cheeky boy, Muhammad Qaiser.
