While we say that change is really dynamic, we can't always pertain to pure positive things nor the negative ones. Results of this not just leads to our happiness nor destruction to our wants or desires in life. It will always be a mixture of those.
Becoming a mother does not just end on giving birth or by being the legal guardian of a child or children. It is an unending responsibility. It is more likely to say, carrying the whole world. Being a mother is a task itself. Here are some of the reasons why:
1) Change of routinary activities. If you are an organized person with an established schedule that already runs in your blood and considered it a lifestyle, being a mother would change that. If you are used to monitor your sleeping hours, this time, being a first time mother, would not let you think of having enough sleep anymore. What you are going to monitor now are your mother duties, if they are completely achieved, even if they mean sleepless nights. Especially if your child is between 0- 3 years, your routine includes feeding the baby, putting him/ her into sleep, washing the bottles (if she is bottle fed) plus household chores as a wife and many more. The good thing here is that, no matter how tired you are, seeing your baby soundly asleep or hear his/ her laughter, already makes you feel good. It's really a relief so don't miss those cuddling moments with your baby. 2) Change of Priorities. Being a mother doesn't make you realize this. By just observing how your mother treats you already gives you an idea regarding this concept. If you have witnessed your mother sacrifice almost everything just to give you a good future, most probably you have already instilled in your mind that once you will become a mother, you will do the same thing or be better at it. Well, while some did not experience that, if you are true mother, even if you had bad experiences from your mother, you will end up not doing the same thing to your child, rather treats them very well, even if your mother did not do it that way. You will always think of your child's needs before yours. It is true that if there is a choice between your supplements or infant milk, lipstick or diaper, new shoes or your child's toys and the like, you will always end up choosing the second option.
"Your child's necessities is your top priority now. As they say, it is mother's love."
Nevertheless, with all of these, the most interesting part is when your child becomes progressive as his/ her age does.
To mention, here's a video of the progress of my daughter talking about her studies.
