Natalia Ng Instagram – 2nd Mother’s Day and 2 days late on posting but I was pretty busy caring for my firstborn while growing a life inside of me 🤪 so gimme chance k? #InMyVeryTiredButFulfilledEra
Behind the aesthetic cover, is but a fraction of what my motherhood experience has been. But leaving some very precious (to me) memories I’d like to keep revisiting here 🥰
It’s a reminder to show myself how much I’ve grown but mostly, I’m just amazed how much I’m willing to sacrifice for this little human 🥹
Like how eating my food cold doesn’t bother me as much as I thought it would and how I got used to warming up my coffee in the microwave 5x a day.
Let’s not even get into breastfeeding because I think most breastfeeding moms out there would know how “magical” that journey can be.
Sacrificing my much needed 8-hours of consecutive sleep during newborn period was not fun but I somehow gained the skill of napping when my baby napped— when sleep gets rudely interrupted enough times, fatigue tends to help with this skill.
I remember how my mom used to peel grapes for me when I was little and I told myself and many others that I won’t be caught dead doing that for my kids and found myself peeling blueberries for my baby 🙃
I always recognized and appreciated my own mother’s efforts and sacrifices but it wasn’t until I went through it myself that I truly understood the depth of what unconditional love really meant.
To all the super mamas out there, may you always feel loved and celebrated every single day of your lives as you rightfully deserve #AnOdeToMothersDay 🌸 | Posted on 14/May/2024 13:32:05
