Motherhood

Here I go about to embark upon a new journey.

Motherhood has began, a child has been born.

Lots of sleepness nights, restless dozing.

He sleeps on my chest, his favorite place to be.

I hold him so closely, never allowing him to budge.

so protective of my lil man, sleeping so soundly.

 

Breast feeding is such a chore, hard to endore.

Swollen breasts, sore nipples, but well worth it,

to nurish and feed my baby with milk from my body.

To allow mother earth to help me sucessfully care for my seedling.

To watch him grow slowly, gaining weight and height.

 

Changeing diapers mid hours into the mornings and nights.

Hearing you scream and watching you turn red, with each

fit you throw with each diaper i change.

Smiling while i do so, such a gross task, but yet i love it so.

 

Loving every part of caring for you.

Feeding, changing, bathing, and comforting you.

Rocking you softly to sleep, allowing my chest and my breaths,

to sway you off to slumberland. dozing so carefully, keeping you

protectivly wrapped in my arms and a blanket, so you cant roll away.

mommy keeps you safe always.

 

 

Motherhood, here i come, so happily.
