Finding Me in Motherhood
I will probably remember the day I found out I was pregnant for the rest of my life. There were about 145 emotions I was going through but its safe to say “shock” was top of the list. I mean, I was twenty-five years old. My relationship was still in the fairly new stage. My weekends at the time also consisted of bar hopping with my friends and then a Sunday of Netflix and mashed potatoes to nurse the hangover. After the initial panic wore off and the excitement started to creep in, I immediately went into planning mode. Anyone who knows me at all knows I’m a planner through and through. I mean seriously, I showed up to every single prenatal appointment with a notebook in one hand, pen in the other, ready to list off my endless questions. My Pinterest was already filled with nursery ideas and the long “safest care seat” research began. Fast forward three months, global pandemic! Hello masks and disposable gloves and goodbye socializing. As a newly pregnant, first time mom, I took this pandemic as seriously as possible. I mean “wash all of your groceries” seriously. There was just no information and I wasn’t about to risk the tiny human who’s health I was responsible for.
