Things has been changed when I became a mom.

It's been two years and ten months since I became a mother. This new journey of my life gives me a roller coaster ride as I am not knowledgeable on how to handle things especially I am not used on taking good care of kids. As a first time mom I need a person who will guide me and thankfully I have my mom that time. She was there during my ceasarian operation until I got discharged on the hospital. She's the one who helped me when I cant manage to make my little one sleep. She's the one who prepared for my little ones bath and more. As a first time mom O have no idea what to do that's why I need help but I always find a way to take good care of my little one alone and search different parenting stuff online.

Being a mom is not easy. A lot of adjustment needed especially when you are stay at home mom and a breastfeeding mom and I am both. This new journey of my life change my perception in life, realized new things and make an adjustment for the sake of my little one.

Goodbye long hours of sleep

Since I became a mother I didn't experience to sleep 8 hours sleep especially when my little one was new to this world. I had sleepiness night because I am always observing him while sleeping because I saw something online about the sudden infant death syndrome. I got used to my sleeping routine which is 5 to 6 hours and it is not one time sleep because my little one always woke up every other hour because he want some breastmilk. As of now I sleep at 11 or 12 PM and woke up 6 to 7 AM but in the span of those hours I will woke up because my son woke up to because he want some breastmilk and I will nurse him for a couple of minutes.

Hello healthy living.

One of the main reason why I need to eat healthy is because I am breastfeeding. I need to eat healthy to that my son will be healthy too. I do research about healthy foods not only for me but for my little one also. I remember when he was 6 months old his first solid food was potato , avocado , sweet potato and squash. I also prepared some Moringa tea and boiled camote tops and get the water because they it contains of iron. That's became our routine and my son also drinks it too. I prepared a pancake for him with banana and moringa , yes I always add moringa on his food because it's healthy. I also drink more water and avoid softdrinks.

Photos in the gallery.

I know mommies will be relatable to this. Your gallery is full of your little ones photo from the very beginning up to present. Me personally I love capturing some shots of my son and documents his milestone. I always made a video of what he did then save it on my phone. I don't usually upload a lot of photos in my social media account , only in my gallery. I only uploaded some photos when my storage were running out.

Taking a shower faster.

You know that feeling when you are in the middle of shower and you heard you little one cried but not? I always experienced it while taking a shower before that's why I need to make it faster. It's feels like you are talking a shower for couple of minutes and as the time goes by I got so used to it. Sometimes when my husband is here I take a shower more longer because he will be the one who will look after our son and I will have no worries. As of now we always shower together together with my niece so that I can enjoy bathing too. I let them play into the water while taking a shower then after that they turn.

The talkative me.

I am a silent type of person but when I became a mom and my son turned 2 years old my mouth became an instant armalite. Baby no , baby not that , baby come here , baby don't do that and many more. Sometimes I feel like my head soon to explode because of saying this words because to be honest I am tired of saying it everyday but I don't have a choice because this stage of being a toddler makes you insane I swear. That feeling when you clean the house and then after a couple of minutes they will litter again. Or you a doing something and then they will do meddling. Thinking about it now makes my head in pain.

A good teacher.

Even though I am talkative in so many ways , I also used it to teach them. As a parent it's your responsibility to teach your child what's wrong and what's right. You should be the one to teach them things start from the very young age. I know toddlers are so makulit and it seems they are not listening but believe me they are. Always observed thier behavior and correct it in a way that they will understand.

Into the supermarket or store.

To be honest , the only thing I bought for myself is my personal hygiene and nothing more. When was the last time I bought a stuff for myself? Well a long time ago. I don't usually buy things for me even if my husband insisted it because I always told him I am only staying in the house so why I need to buy. In the supermarket aside from the groceries I also bought my little ones snack. In the online shopping I always priority the needs of my little one. When I bought something like bedsheet I will choose what will my son like , example is the bedsheet with planet design that I bought online a couple of months ago.

This are the few things that has been changed when I became a mother. A new journey that makes me realize that this new journey is not for me alone anymore but for this little man beside me right now.
