being a first time mom

I remember when I was still pregnant and I had all these hopes of grandeur. I would be the perfect mother. I would breastfeed. Change a diaper? No problem! I could do it. Being a mother was a piece of cake! Then the day came. Last November 12, 2012 after a long and difficult labor @ 10:50 in the evening my little Caeden Ezekiel Vonn arrived, and I was completely terrified of being a mother!  I gave birth with my precious baby boy. Amazing how it all changed from total “I can do it all” to reality “Oh my gosh!

Being a first time mom is an amazing experience, the love that you feel is unbelievable, the tiredness and all the pain during labor can be erased with just the smile or look of your baby. I could say that it is true that you never know how your pregnancy and delivery will be and you can't really have a plan because most likely things will change and in the end you'll end up doing what is best for the baby. Being a new mom is such a blast. The daily smiles and coo's...daily changes watching him grow and experience everything for the first time.... I could say that my life is totally different now... it is one of life's most exciting, life-changing moments from handling dirty diapers to constantly feeding a hungry, waking up in the middle of the night, my entire world has been wrapped up in this little angel 24 hours a day seven days a week.

You know you hear the wonderful advise “Sleep when the baby sleeps.” Ya sure sure, I will. Just a min. Some mothers take this advise and glen from it. I was not that mother. I slept a little but was to excited about all that went on, and wanted to do what I wanted. Like play World of Warcraft! upload photos in Facebook. I am a mother that wanted to sleep when I wanted to. Pure bliss, my time is no longer fully my own.

I absolutely had no idea what being a new mom entails. Being a first time mom is overwhelming and was tough and scary at the same time especially in my part. Seeing my son cry and vomits every now and then after birth because according to his doctor he swallowed maternal blood or meconium and needs medical attention it really tears my heart wishing and praying for his safety and fast recovery.
But then God is so good and my baby boy is okay now. His whole abdomen was checked early this morning through an ultrasound and again thank God coz everything is okay.

It's been 15 days now since the day I gave birth to Caeden Ezekiel Vonn and I am still trying to learn many things, being a mom... its not that easy but I could say all tiredness, sleepless nights.. its really worth it.
