I am a Stay At Home Mother
The year is 2016 and my first child has just been born.
I live in my in-laws house. I give birth to my first child in the house my ex-husband grew up in.
I thought I wanted to be a stay at home mom but it’s hard, y’all.
The first year was really rough for me. Even though I was living in a house with water and food and all the things that come with having a house, I felt really alone with my kid. All I did was spend time with him. When he woke up - I woke up - when he slept - I slept - or I didn’t I did laundry or made food or read about being a mom on FB.
I do not regret becoming a mother. I don’t. But being a mom that first year was really, really hard for me.
And I’m happy that I decided to keep the placenta. I had it dried and encapsulate and then when I felt a bit blue I would pop a pill. It would help a bit for sure but microdosing placenta is only a tiny fraction of the nutrition that a new mother needs to ingest.
Drink more water. Everyone!
(from glass when available)
Your body is 90% water.
Water is a symbol of fluidity, effortlessly adapting to its surroundings, taking on the shape of any container it inhabits. Much like water, our lives flow in constant motion, navigating the twists and turns that come our way. Embracing fluidity allows us to move through life with grace and ease, adjusting to change with a sense of openness and resilience. Just as water carves through rock over time, our ability to remain fluid in the face of challenges helps us break through barriers and find new paths forward. So, let us be inspired by the tranquil strength of water, embracing its fluid nature as we journey through the ever-changing currents of life.
