I loved this beautiful picture by @momisdrawing and touching words by @mothercarejourney so had to share it with all the mamas out there:
.
My first child,⁣
⁣
Life has changed quite a bit around here, hasn’t it?⁣
⁣
I see you wiggle your little body right next to mine whenever you see me holding our baby. I see you put your little hand on mine and look up at me from time to time.⁣
⁣
I see the emotions in your eyes - the emotions and thoughts of longing, sadness, excitement, wanting things to be the same as before, and many more emotions that I’m sure you’re feeling.⁣
⁣
My first love, I want you to know that your place in my heart is untouched. You introduced me to motherhood, you gave me the title of mother, you were the first heartbeat, the first contraction, the first entrance into this world. My world. You gave me the privilege of taking care of you, loving you, raising you, and finding parts of myself I never knew existed. ⁣
⁣
My heart is only expanding with each passing day. My love for both you and our baby is constantly increasing to the point I feel my heart bursting with an ever-lasting love that takes my breath away.⁣
⁣
I know I may not be able to spend every moment with you now. I know I can’t always be there exactly when you need me. I know we can’t always do the things we used to do together. But as we both figure out this new normal, I want you to know that I’m here. I’m still here. I still think about you, and miss you sometimes even when you’re sitting right next to me. I want you to know that I’m trying my best. That I’m also trying to figure this all out. But the thing I’m always sure of is how my love for you will only keep growing. ⁣
⁣
After all, you were my gateway into motherhood. You were my gateway into this incredible, life-changing, breathtaking journey.⁣
⁣
And I want you to rest assured- your place in my heart is untouched💕

#Momlife doesn’t allow many opportunities to get

#Momlife doesn’t allow many opportunities to get out and enjoy #weekendbrunch and endless mimosas like we did in our 20s, but my sister and original partner in crime were able to sneak away for an amazing meal at the beautifully decorated #winterwonderland❄️ theme at @switchrva! The food was delicious, the cocktails 🍹 were amazing and the atmosphere was so cool. We felt like we were back in our carefree single days and really got to enjoy a fun meal out, in a super cool, trendy place. Since the themes change at @switchrva and the whole experience is so unique, we will be back soon to see what they have next ❄️

Cheers to next time! 🥂
