Maneuvering Motherhood

Yesterday, I was browsing through my maternity pictures and staring in awe at my 8-month-old and 1 year old; thinking how did this happen? Then I thought, "Well maybe not how, I definitely know about the birds and the bees, Kamryn you have two kids." I retracted my statement and replaced how with where as in where are you in life? This is one of life's greatest questions. I would not have imagined that I would be 23 with 2 beautiful babies under the age of 2. It is hard to believe I am where I am today, but I am ever so thankful for the support from my husband, my family, and my birth experiences that created me into the mom and woman that I am today. Every day I look into their big brown eyes, and I am so grateful that I am their mommy. They have supported me throughout this journey of learning how to be a mom just as much as I have been there for them. Today, I have an answer to that question. I am satisfied with my life. No, I am not perfect, and my life is not perfect, but these children have given me so much joy and happiness; I am ecstatic that I get to spend my life with them. Hey there mama, I just wanted to remind you to be grateful for your birth story, your babies, and your support system. Especially your babies because while they hold your heart, they will only hold your hand for a short amount of time. Remember to find joy through their eyes and no matter where you are in life, you are an amazing mom; if you don't have that support system well now you have me, and we will walk through this unknown territory together.
