I thought I was a real full-time mom with Kayden….now I realize that was only a part-time job. I don’t mean to belittle any mothers who currently have just one child. I know there are mothers who are definitely working full-time because their one child is a much bigger handful than Kayden has been, but this has been an awakening for me to have two kiddos.
My life is suddenly insanely busy. I’ve never before found it difficult to find time to answer a quick text message. So often, something is currently demanding all my attention—and I mean DEMANDING! And yes, there have been times (especially mornings after frequent feedings throughout the night) when I have shed tears and felt overwhelmed. However, I have to say that I’ve experienced some weird energy most of the time. Now with two kids, whenever I make it to storytime at the library or make dinner or run any errands or go to the park or work on any projects or read stories to Kayden, I feel a REAL sense of accomplishment. Like I’ve gone above and beyond and I’m a totally “with-it” mom.
I feel like a supermom.
This lifestyle of constantly having to do something for my babies is really…fulfilling? I feel like I’m doing what I was meant to do (at this time of my life). Right now, I am everything to these little ones. I feel very needed. I feel very responsible. I would imagine it’s similar to being promoted in any career…more responsibility and business, but you feel more needed and important! I feel like I just became the CEO.
Go ahead. Laugh. I’m sure down the road when I look back after having more kids, I’ll laugh at this post too. But for now, I am a supermom.
