Happy Mother’s Day!

I was there at the hospital for the past 18 hours. It felt like a decade. Time was going so slow, that I didn’t cease looking at the clock.
The room was small, warm, but scary! On my right side, was a tray with scissors, sterile gauze, and cotton swabs. On my left side, a blood pressure cuff and stethoscope. The “CTG” or called the electronic fetal monitor beeping. I was listening to the beeps and looking at the window. It was a snowy day! I distracted myself by watching the snow coming down by the bucket full. I was in a lot of pain. It resembled menstrual cramps at the beginning, then extremely strong waves of agony, as if someone is breaking my bones. I screamed and cried, but I had to push very hard to get him out of me.
Finally, they all looked at me, smiling, holding him in their hands. I cried, but this time, I cried with happiness and joy. I named him Ibrahim. I became a mom on February 24th, 2015.

Motherhood changed my life. I started looking at life from a different perspective. My priorities shifted. I am more confident, I am responsible, I am more kind to myself and to others, but I gave up on too many things because of my kids’ happiness! I do almost anything to make my kids smile and happy.
I accept others’ selfishness and sh*** just so my kids can feel that they are living like any other kids. I know the last sentence is unclear! You readers won’t understand what a REAL mother can go through just for her kids’ happiness!
My two kids are enough! I love them, and wish them allllllll the happiness!

Happy Mother’s Day! Congratulations to all new mothers! Be proud of yourselves! You are the basis for the continuation of the human race on this planet.
