Brighter than Sunshine

What a feeling in my soul 

Love burns brighter than sunshine.

Hand Waving

Thank you, dear L for sending me this apt reminder. 

You truly rock, my friend! \m/

Motherhood

Motherhood has changed me in more ways than I could ever imagined. 

That very same day that we found out that I am heavy with our first child, my outlook in life has changed dramatically. My views on a lot of things changed for the better that even loved ones noticed.

Suddenly, I have this strong will to improve myself, to become the best version of myself. When not so long ago, I was happy being a better version of me. I was content juggling the role of being my husband's Beb, managing my own team at work, confidant and chika-mate to my friends, a big sister to my siblings and a loving and independent daughter. And I was happy.

And then I became pregnant. After 9 months of waiting, we finally saw and held in my arms the answer to our prayers. I am insanely happy. Tearful happy. Like when you're so overwhelmed that your heart pounds so hard, it feels like its about to explode.

I am happier.

Yanna is nearing her second month outside my womb and she has already given me and my husband sheer joy without even trying. She smiles, shows off her dimples, stares back, lifts her head, makes some "ahhh" sound, smells good that no perfume could ever top - these things and more, make me think that I must've done something great that is worthy of such a reward from the Heavens. 

Being a wife to a wonderful and gorgeous husband while also being a mother is not always a bed of roses. There are some thorns that need to be conquered but that's part of the deal.Yanna, for one, is still nocturnal. She follows no rules (yet) and wakes/sleeps at her own will. Haha. 

Love, I have learned, is not just about the good qualities of a person. It is also accepting the other person's quirks and idiosyncrasies. I knew that I needed to be stretched even further and God knows what He's doing when He granted me my heart's desire.
