The day I became a mother, was probably one of the scariest but at the same time one of the most beautiful days of my life. I confess that I was very nervous. When my daughter was handed to me immediately after being born, my hands were shaking, my heart was pounding, I became anxious and when she started crying I didn't know what to do. It wasn't until my cousin came to visit and said I needed to relax. She said my baby was able to feel and connect with the way I was feeling and so I needed to be calm. As the minutes turned to hours, I began to feel more comfortable. So much so, that I held her on my chest all night.
When my son was born, you would think I would have been much more comfortable than the first time, but no. I was just as nervous, but this time tried to relax and calm myself much sooner. Because of that I was also able to hold my son on my chest his entire first night.
As time passes there are still times I get quite nervous. There are tantrums in public, outburst, disagreements, bad attitudes and all of the above. I always go back to my cousins advice and make the best effort to remain relaxed and calm in an effort to transmit the same to my kids.
