And I have to confess I still have moments feeling like that. This adventure called motherhood is so overwhelming one can easily forget about herself. <br /><br />It took me a few months to adjust to that, but in the end you're still you, now just with a baby. And 2,5 years on it's still hard sometimes, but in a different way. <br /><br />The essence of you is not gone, but now it's more a case of finding time/space to be you. I'm a really creative person, writing, designing jewelry, but somehow all that has been on a backburner since being a mama. It's not that I don't want to those things, I do, but in the end, spending time with the little one is more important to me. <br /><br />So I've learned to steal little moments, mostly when she's asleep, and I try to focus my creative attempts on my blog now, I get to do things I like and be able to write about her, take pics of her, so right now that's the perfect way of combining me and being a mama!<br /><br />But I'm sure you'll do just have. And sometimes we just have to be mama's and not worry about anything else!<br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br />love from Belgium, <br /><br />CindyLa Maman Heureusehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05469247025200911213noreply@blogger.com
