I’ll Always Remember
After seven years of trying to become a mom, I find joy in so many small moments. My son has begun his grabbing and ‘scritchy scratching’ stage and I absolutely adore it.
He can almost poke my eyes out, but the fact that he’s feeling around and trying to memorize my face melts my heart.
I never thought the day would come for me to have a child and I believe it’s made me recognize some of the smaller and seemingly insignificant moments that end up in your mind many years down the road.

Motherhood is an extraordinary journey filled with a myriad of experiences, especially for those who have faced challenges such as infertility. These small moments, like a child’s first interactions and explorations, hold immense significance and joy. Experts suggest that reflecting on these precious experiences can foster gratitude and enhance overall well-being. Keeping a journal may help mothers capture these fleeting yet profound moments, creating a treasure trove of memories to look back on. The emotional connections formed during the child’s early stages help in building a strong bond, enabling mothers to relish every tiny milestone, from sticky fingers to first words. Embracing these times can also lead to a shared sense of community among mothers, creating spaces for discussion on challenges and joys in parenting. Celebrating every little victory cultivates a positive mindset, aiding in emotional resilience and self-care. Neuroscience has shown that reflecting on positive experiences triggers dopamine release, contributing to overall happiness. Incorporating small rituals, like daily reflections or gratitude lists, enhances the journey of motherhood, making every moment memorable. Through shared stories and moments, we can inspire one another, creating a supportive network for current and aspiring mothers. It’s essential to acknowledge, express, and embrace these experiences, fostering connections with others who understand the unique journey of motherhood, especially after infertility challenges.
