Being a student and a mom at the same time

October 21, 2021

How's life people? Hope you are having a good one. Today we have gloomy weather because the rain poured this afternoon. I enjoyed looking at the drops of the rain here in the window.

I want to write an article since yesterday but my mind doesn't have any idea of what topic I will be going to write plus I can't focus because when my baby cried I need to pause what I'm doing and breastfeed him.

So today, I decided to share with you my new daily lifestyle now that I am already a mom and how it goes thinking that I'm also a student.

When I am still pregnant, I managed to write here one article per day because what I did back then was lie down on my bed and then attend an online class which is off cam.

Now that I have a baby. My daily routine changed a lot. If only I know that I will be going to stay up all night because my baby wakes up in the dawn and I need also to wake up to feed him because if I don't he will cry and cry and I don't want that to happen, I would never have stayed awake late before and sleep early. I miss sleeping haha I don't have enough sleep now and I only had a nap when my baby is sleeping. Even if I'm sleepy when I woke up in the dawn, I get up and feed him, my eyes wanted to close but I fight it because I don't want to fall asleep while I'm breastfeeding my baby. So I waited until he fall asleep then that's the chance that I will sleep also. He wakes up at midnight then 2 am, 4 until 6 am while in the afternoon he is sleeping soundly. I hope he changed his sleeping clock, I hope it interchanged hehe.

You also know that I am still a student. I am graduating next year so I need to do my best so that I won't fail these last two semesters.

Being a student and a mother isn't easy, I can say due to what I'm experiencing now. In the morning I need to take my baby out for the sunlight then bathe him and feed him until he went to sleep. After that, even if I want to sleep also I can't because I need to do my school works. In the afternoon I need to attend my online class, good thing some of my professors allow us to turn off our cameras, that way I can carry my baby when he is crying. Also, my partner's mother and my partner help me whenever my baby is crying even if I feed him already. So I have some time to focus on my class.

I am not complaining tho, I used this experience of mine and also my baby as my motivation to do my best so that soon I can give them a good life especially my baby.

There are many changes and adjustments now that I am a mother, but all the hardships that I experience right now whenever I saw my baby smiling, my energy is full tank again and it takes away my tiredness. The sleepless night? I don't mind as long as I know my baby is fine. I chose this kind of life so I need to stand on it. I will show others who degraded me that I can manage and I will finish my studies. It's hard yes but this is life, I need to go through with it and I know we will surpass this.

My partner also is helping me whenever my baby cries at dawn. He will let me have some sleep and carry our baby and when our baby cries again and need to feed that's the time he will wake me up and he will sleep because he has work in the morning so he needs a rest too.

Closing thoughts

I don't have any regrets about what happened to my life. My baby is a blessing and he gives joy to us. I'm also focusing on my studies that's why I have less time here and also in noise. Back then, I posted in noise every 2 hours now it takes 5-6 hours before I post again, only if I have free time when my baby is sleeping and I'm finished with my activities.
