My sonshine turned ONE over the weekend and I honestly don’t even know how to put into words how I feel. 🤍
A mix of emotions for sure… maybe because returning to work fully is starting to feel very real haha.
This year has changed me in ways I never imagined. I’m so grateful for the little boy who made me stronger, braver and more patient all at once. The things that used to stress me just don’t seem to matter anymore. My perspective on life is completely different now.
It’s been one hell of a year but the most beautiful, exhausting, overwhelming, heart-stretching year of my life. The sleepless nights. The days of feeling unwell but still having to show up. Working through it all, even when my tank felt empty. Motherhood is a blessing, but it’s also raw and real, and I don’t think we talk enough about that part. The mental load. The emotional shifts. The quiet tears. The strength you find because you have no other choice.
Mums really go through it. And we do it with love.
One year earthside, but 9 months of carrying you will never feel like enough time with you. Watching you grow has been the greatest privilege of my life. I wouldn’t change this journey for the world not the hard days, not the tired days, not any of it.
Happy 1st birthday to my sonshine. Better late than never
