Being a Parent
Motherhood
starts at the moment the test says positive. You have to begin with caring for
the baby inside you. Making sure the baby and yourself are healthy and in the
right condition for the next 9months. When the 9 months are over, you now have
a baby to care for every few hours, without a break. Soon enough the child will
grow and you will need to lead it to the right path by teaching the wrongs and
rights of life. If anyone says
being a parent is an easy job, it is because they don't have kids. Being a
parent myself, I know no task is an easy one and it only gets hard as time goes
by. This is where I like to say, “There is no turning back now.”
Dealing with pregnancy in 9 months is not
an easy job. Take it from me; I’m experiencing everything now. I have the worst
morning sickness and I will tell you its not only in the morning but it is also
in the evening or throughout the whole day This is different for women. Some
may not even experience nausea.
There is also the gas, sore breast and headaches, not to mention
sleepiness! The enjoys of pregnancy! I just can’t wait to get to the point
where I’m dehydrated and my feet get swollen. That’s going to be a great summer
for me. Ladies there is also weigh gain in evolved; there is no getting away
with that especially with crazy cravings. Don’t get me wrong it is a wonderful
experience being pregnant. The one thing I can wait for is the moving and
kicking from the little one. I don’t know about you but it makes me so excited
to see who is doing that inside me.
Here
comes the BABY!!! This is more fun than pregnancy. You get to hold the baby
while it’s sleeping. They are most beautiful sleep and peaceful. That
unfortunately doesn’t last forever because soon after you will need to feed and
change the baby. Changing the baby’s diaper is always a woman’s job; men can’t
stand the same smells as women can. During the diaper change you learn so much
about Poo (joking haha). Soon after comes potty training and talking and
walking all over the floor. I think I remember the feeding the most because it
always ends up somewhere on the floor or their hair your hair. Just everywhere!
We capture all those moments as parents because it is always something to talk
about with family and friends. It cute and funny to talk about kids because
they are learning and we are growing as parents.
Eventually
your children will begin to grow up. My daughter is 4 years old (almost 5 she
won’t let me forget) and I already feel old. As a parent we grow and mature
fast to teach our kids how we don’t want them to be and that is to be who we
once were. Sure, they will make their own mistakes in school and life and we
just have to teach them to learn from them. They will learn from some friends
and family how not be and what not to do. They will find their religious ways
and have questions about why life is life. As parents we just need to be
supportive and do the best we can at this point.
Being
a parent is new and exciting. You never know what to expect from the children
you raise. From the time they start growing inside a woman to crawling on the
floor to being a young adult, you learn and they learn. Life is no blink of the
eye but seeing our children grow sure does feel like it.
