My dear friend
It is true
What they say
About having a baby
Your life will never be the same again
It can be better
If you let it
You will make mistakes
And that is ok
We all make mistakes
“Perfect mom”
is not looking
Over Your shoulder
You are the perfect mom for your baby
Be patient
with yourself
Be willing
To apologize
Don’t be afraid
To admit you need help
We all need a little help sometimes
When you look
In the mirror
Don’t worry
About the body parts
That look
or feel
A little saggy
They are your Mother badge
Of courage
Love
And strength
You are so much stronger than you think
You will be
a WONDERFUL
Wise
Smart
Compassionate
Kind
Intuitive
Faith-filled
Strong momma for this little person
Books and advice on parenting philosophies
can be helpful tools
But in the end
If you put down the books
Turn off the phone
And just be still with your baby
You will find
A quiet
Wise
Voice
Whispering inside you
All you need to know
To care for
And love her perfectly
You already know what to do
Relax
You got this
You are going to be amazing
Welcome to motherhood
Love it Monna! Sent it on to my daughter whose son is now 2+ months old. Actually she’s doing great but this affirms my feelings about her mothering ability!
Thanks Ellen! We all need to hear this. 🙂
