To the Beautiful Mama in My Chair,
I see you. I feel you. I’ve been you
You’re sitting here today tired, stretched thin, a full heart, and a million thoughts running through your mind. That little baby of yours has already changed your world just like the ones before him in the most magical, new, unique and exhausting ways. And now, you’re about to do something incredibly hard…you’re getting ready to go back to work.
I know you’re probably feeling torn. Excited to step back into something familiar yet also still ‘new’ but also aching at the thought of leaving that tiny person you just created. Maybe you’re wondering if you’re doing it right. Maybe you feel like you’re supposed to have it all figured out by now.
But let me remind you, there’s no one way to do this. There’s only your way. And whatever that looks like, it’s valid. Whether you’re pumping in a supply closet, crying on your lunch break, or feeling like an absolute boss getting it all done! You’re doing something powerful in one of the most vulnerable moments of life.
You are still you. You didn’t lose her when you became “Mom” and that’s with each and every birth. When a baby is born; it’s not just the birth of a baby, It’s a rebirth of us. A version of ‘Me’ you have yet to understand and fully comprehend. You grew. Today, as you sit here letting someone else take care of you for a moment, I hope you feel even just a tiny bit of your strength coming back.
So breathe, Mama. Let the guilt go. Let the love lead. Your baby is lucky to have you and so is the world you’re stepping back into.
You’ve got this.
With love,
Your Stylist
