Realising I'm a MUM!

So I woke up this morning and looked in the mirror realising that my eyebrows where out of control, my hair needed to be dyed and cut, I should probably shave my legs and my under arms. When had I lost control? Why had no one told me? And more to the point how long had I looked this way. It was in this moment that I realised, I was really a Mum. Don't get me wrong, not all mums are out of control, some are very good at taking care of themselves and everyone else for that matter. But for me in this moment I realised I was putting everything a side to focus my attention on my son and  husband.

For the last 6 months of my son's life I have been in a world of complete amazement. Watching my son growing up so very quickly. Surely this couldn't have lead me to where I am today. It makes me wonder does this happen to other mums?

When my son was born I was happy, excited, amazed, scared, and worried. A mix of emotions that I couldn't even describe. I spent the 1st 4 weeks being a super mum running on adrenalin. Then it seems since then the time has just flown by. Not to mention the lack of time you have when you've got a baby.

This realisation that I am a mum would have scared me years ago. It would have made me feel like I lost my life and who I am. Today it makes me feel so proud to be a mum. I love being that person. The person who people look and go 'she's a mum'. Yes I am a mum and proud of it. I may not always no what I am doing and love every moment of everyday, BUT I do love being a mum. It is the best job I have ever had.

But don't worry I had a shower, shaved, got a hair cut, and when my son was asleep tonight I dyed my hair and waxed my eyebrows. Exhausting but worth it. Hopefully I will notice before I get out of control next time. But if I don't that doesn't really matter either ;-)
