“One day postpartum and I was
Swollen.
Exhausted.
Overwhelmed.
Frustrated.
Weak.
One day postpartum and I was
Elated.
Overjoyed.
Relieved.
Empowered.
Changed.
So many emotions and feelings, and all on either side of the spectrum.
I remember feeling like I was part of a juggling act — balancing my mental state, physical well-being and all the new information being tossed at me. As soon as I thought I had gotten into a rhythm of things, another “ball” would be thrown into the mix.
And this juggling act continues.
Displaying grace and resilience.
Being vulnerable and strong.
Showing initiative and patience.
Letting go and accepting more.
This is motherhood.”
