If someone had asked me if I prepared for motherhood before now I would beat my chest to say YES!A thousand times,but being a mum now has shown me nothing prepares you for it than being in it,it is one of those jobs u learn as you go, and it requires you being intentional because even on the days you feel like taking a break you just can't cos the job of a mother is never done,although she needs to know when to stop parenting..
ROUTINE can get boring overtime and feel like no progress ,Well so I thought until I became a mother and found new ways to do same things,when my mum finished omugwo(taking care of her daughter and granddaughter childbirth)even though she taught me different things I knew I did not want my daughter having my mum as her mum,even though there is nothing wrong with it and we all want different things,I knew my daughter needed her own mum and so each day we both wake up she leads I follow 😄,somedays she wakes up before everyone as though and she has a job she doesn't want to be late for and i have an early day,other days she is a baby girl and wakes up like a princess but on all days,she must have her bath, feed,play,sleep and these are constant but the manner to which they happen changes and I don't beat myself up when one comes before the other and vice versa,I just enjoy my daughter and try my best to be her mum.
So yes routine sounds boring but remember waking up everyday already shows us that there is nothing wrong with routine you just need to learn to be more versatile as I am learning also and take a deep breath to enjoy life while at it and somehow it doesn't feel like routine anymore cos each day you find new ways to make it better.
