Being a first time mother

Deciding to start a family obviously lead me to my discovery of motherhood and the impact on myself as a working mother, being bounced into this new life phase. I realized, a few months into the pregnancy that the meaning of life was clear, even through the sleepless nights and endless demands on my heavy body, that what I was doing was beautiful and definately loving.

I am always confident with whatever I do in life until Reese came along.To my shock that it’s just not quite the same. I would have to embarked on actually talking to other moms and listening to copious amounts of unsolicited and sometimes old fashioned advice. At times i felt so helpless.

The last 7.5 months has been the best character building and self awareness journey I could take. I have kind of figured now 7.5 months later a kind of stability and peace with my own formula for being the best mother I can be. I hope I can share with you my day’s achievements or just read about what I’ve been up to, as a mother.

Last week hubby and I went for parenting discipleship class and we were taught to list out a few things we want to pass on(legacy) to our children. All this while, it only crossed our minds that we want to bring up a GOOD child. Now as we slowly ponder upon the 3 aspects; namely Socially, Emotionally and Spiritually, we begin to see how we want to shape and prepare our son to be part of this earthly world.

In conclusion, we want Reese to be God fearing, a man of his own, confident, independant, responsible and be passionate in what he does. He should enjoy life!

I suddenly realised that it's really not easy to be a good and responsible parent!
