Yes, being a mom is hard work. Of course, it is an extremely rewarding job. Yet, it is a job that challenges us to the farthest ends of our depths. -Especially with your first baby. At this point, you are used to taking care of you, and only you. And then -boom-you have a child and you are now responsible for this tiny, precious bundle of joy for 18years and beyond.
It is a joyful time, but also a stressful time. It is a time you are totally giving of yourself and your time. This is the time, most of us mamas start putting our bundles of joy first, and forgetting we were once an individual in need of care ourselves.
