THINGS I LEARNED ABOUT BEING A MOM
1. This shit is kinda hard. PATIENCE. Be patient with yourself. Listen to your body and your baby. Your hormones are out of whack and you just don’t know what’s going on. Take your time. SLEEP. Does not exist for the first 3 months of life. But you get used to it. 2. This shit is kinda fun. Fo

perks of being a young mom 💚💜🩵
i had my first child when i was 22 and my husband was 23! now we are 25 and 26 with two kids and we absolutely love being young parents. there’s a lot of good reasons to wait until you’re older to have kids (and i do believe that for most people it’s probably better to wait until you’re older)

I’m in the best shape EVER at 35, being a mom
