First time mommy(1 year down, many more to go)

It's been a year since I became a first time mommy and to many more!

A year down and boy it has been a learning process, and few bumps within the year(which I know many more of those are coming my way)....so ready, not!

Let me share with you that....

When I came home with my son from the hospital my husband took time off from work for a week, than my mom to help out. See I had a csection with them helping me along with my grandma and mother in law for a few days it was great.
Than it happen once my mom week was up and she had to return to work let me tell you I was an emotional wreck, and didn't think I could do and didn't want to do it(darn hormones) and I was so scared. My mom and husband was worrying about me, and they had my grandma and mother in law come a few days out of the week to help. Than the following week it was just me and baby boy, and of course a few check up calls and text from my loved ones.

Now that a year has passed I look at myself and think I did it, and was crazy to think I couldn't do it. But it's first time mommy blues with the changes happen within myself, my body and having being a new mommy. A year later we laugh about it, and as I look at myself and see my 1 year old and can't help but to smile and be proud of myself because I did it! Even if I kept doubting myself and still do a little, but it makes me feel good inside that whatever comes my way I'm ready and can do it and will do it because I am his mommy and he is depending on me.

You know what's crazy is that everyone has a different stories....and that is what I think is so unique about becoming a mommy!! It's crazy how no one other than a girlfriend would understand what happen to you and even get emotional with you. I myself did not like myself nor my body after the baby, and let's not forget the hormones oh the hormones who are not miss whatsoever...lol. 

Here we are a 1 year later I am proud of myself, love my body, and love that I'm a mommy. It was and still is a learning process on caring for his every needs, lack of sleep, and let's not forget the eating when you can, and finding time for yourself. But after all this as I look at him, and it was so worth it, and I would do it all over again! As well as I had a great support system to help me along the way and still along with those check up calls and text every now and than.

Here is to a year down and to many more!
