Being a mother is both a beautiful and challenging lifelong event.  Once you become a mother, it never stops; it is eternal.  Motherhood can help you find humor out of anything, whether it is being pooped and peed on, your 5-year-old saying his stomach hurts because he has “massage stones” like his grandpa, or realizing you haven’t done your hair in a week.  Embrace it.  They can be the happiest days of your life.An individual don’t gain money from becoming a mother, although you do in reality get to enjoy someone who used to be inside of you bloom into an adult.  There is no other feeling like that of the maternal urge.  So all you mommies get ready. 

You learn on a daily basis, you make mistakes, and you may laugh or cry.  Don’t be nervous about having to raise an extension of yourself. Some believe that having a child is the end of their life, but actually it is a new beginning.  You don’t have to completely say goodbye to your social life, rather you might find the old and the new converging, with a healthy balance for both.  Keep in mind that this whole world is new for Baby, and you are his/her guide and protector.  Don’t be afraid to act silly, make noises or funny faces.  Reminisce on how your maternal figure probably made you feel loved, and focus on that.  Don’t be afraid to nurture or discipline.

Motherhood is your time to find new and innovative ways to raise a healthy, sound-minded person.  Read up on motherhood issues like potty-training, appropriate discipline, and developmental techniques.  Follow your first instincts; if it doesn’t sound right for you, then don’t force it.  Only you will know what you are comfortable with for your child.  As time goes on, you will have a routine—and then just change and adjust it as you go.  It can be frustrating at first, but being a mommy teaches versatility and patience.  Keep in mind that you are the best mother you can be, and practice saying that over and over in your head.  It will be needed for those times of insecurity that sometimes come along with parenthood.  If you don’t know the answer to some questions you may have, ask your own mommy, or someone you can get advice from that you can trust.  Some things are learned by experience, others by asking, and some you just stumble upon.  One of the best parts of being “Mommy” is knowing you are giving them the best at all times.  The best has nothing to do with materialistic items, but more to do with what you are contributing to them as a person.  So when the terrible twos, threes, and fours hit, be conscious of the fact that you were once a child, too. We go through a lot of stages in life, but once you are a mother, you will always be one.  Enjoy your new path of motherhood.
