I use to think marriage is the ultimate game changer but not until I had a baby, motherhood changes everything. You learn new things about yourself that you never thought you are capable of doing before and the same goes for your partner, they will discover new things about you.
Here are a few unexpected things you learn about the person you parent with after the baby arrives:
How She Copes With Exhaustion-
Babies are tiny creatures but they require a lot from the new mom which can be very exhausting for a first-time mom, the sleepless nights is tiring and you will be surprised how she still goes on even having a little time to sleep. No matter how exhausted she is, she still have time for her baby when ever she’s needed.
How Patience She Is-
Trying to nurse and simultaneously learn how to care for another human is no easy feat. Exhaustion can worsen mood swings. As your newborn grows, they test your partner’s patience. Babies don’t care about your schedule, they will poop and pee when you thought you were ready to leave the house. So you just have to be a very patient person because taking care of babies require a lot of it
How Loving She is-
A mother’s love is the greatest love and it’s unconditional. Seeing your partner tending to your child is one one the moments that would melt any strong heart. The look of joy on her face every time the baby reached a milestone, and the intense worry when the baby is sick. This is what will even make you love her more.
How She Manages Unexpected Situation-
If your partner is a control freak, this will be quite the adjustment for them. Babies don’t care what you mapped out in your calendar. you will attend to them whenever they come calling. They might get sick when you had a romantic dinner planned. Your partner and you will have to adjust to living life on someone else’s clock.
How She Can Multitask-
Multitasking is a natural powers moms have and they are professionals at it. Motherhood does not have a school where you go and learn, it comes like a natural instinct. For every mother, it always like 24 hours is not enough in a day so she multitasks just to get everything done.
How She Is Not Perfect-
Your partner might be everything but not perfect. Everything is not promised to be rosy. There will be mood swings, the unexpected outburst that can lead to tears. There will be days she can keep things together but that’s fine because she’s human. Some days will seem bleak, and the initial romance of your relationship can seem like a distant memory, find ways around t to spice things up back because she’s likely to lose herself in the baby moments.
It might seem like the baby is trying to keep you apart but discovering the new things you love about each other will keep you on the right track for this, and probably leads to a new phase of your relationship.
