The craziest thing happened last night in my sleep
I halfway woke up, then WOKE UP my 7 year old who was sleeping next to me and said
“I can’t believe my body just MADE you! This is a miracle, I can’t believe it. It’s so amazing!”
🙈🙈 I do not remember what he said back, but he was awake for like an hour after that. 😂 so what was I SO excited about deep down that it woke me AND my son up out of our sleep?!
🌸 the miracle of motherhood 🌸
The fact that in a moment, life was sparked in my body and created this incredible human
The fact that during pregnancy a cascade of hormones magically repatterned my mind and body for attachment and caretaking
The fact that I’ve survived my HARDEST days WHILE loving him, cooking for him, sleeping with him
The way my body created breastmilk, moved him down my birth canal without my having to *think* about any of it
It’s all a total miracle. And it’s one that’s worth waking up in the middle of the night and celebrating!!
Okay maybe not 😂 BUT it’s worth remembering, over and over, that the baby in your arms is nothing short of a total miracle
YOU are nothing short of a total miracle
The days might be hard, really hard. I know, I’m in it with you
But even on our hardest days, sink into the absolute magic that is your kiddo. 🤍
