Life as a Mom of 4 girls

Let me introduce myself.  My name is Christy.  I have 4 beautiful daughters who I will share with you periodically and I hope you can bare with me on this journey of having a blog.  You see I became a coach/mentor for woman suffering with postpartum due to the fact that I have seriously struggled myself with postpartum myself.  The worst was after my 3rd daughter.  I have a facebook group called Postpartum Triumphs where woman can go to get support and encouragement as they go through the next experience of being a Mother.   This blog is a place where I will share my struggles and triumphs.  Where I will share how being a Mother is the greatest thing in the whole wide world and also the very hardest thing in the whole wide world!

In the following days I will introduce to all of you my daughters and a little about them, oh and also my hubby.  You will most definitely get to hear about him:)  But for now you get to know a little about me.  I grew up in the country.  I loved living next to cousins and Grandparents.  I sometimes feel I grew up in the very best place possible.  I played 3 sports in High School, volleyball, softball, and basketball.  I was also in choir and I really enjoy music.  I play piano some and I love to see to my girls.  Since becoming a Mom I've become a lot more crafty.  I like to make tee shirts, sew simple things, and make crafts.  I love spending time with my family and getting outside and playing.  I helped coach my daughters softball team and enjoyed that very much.  I love helping woman who struggle with postpartum.  I love helping woman feel like they can enjoy motherhood and that it doesn't always have to be hard.  I love helping woman feel like they can take control of their lives and live a happy and fulfilled life.

Today I will just share one story with you.  We are moving to another state.  My husband got a different job and he's been working out of state for the last week.  So I've been finishing school and doing this Mom jig all by myself.  Our house is on the market so I have to keep it immaculate and my kids are nuts most of the time.  So today my daughter took a little nap in the car on the way home and then wouldn't go back to sleep and I was just plain exhausted and I just wanted her to go to sleep.  I kind of got mad at her even though she has no idea why.  None the less I had had it and I just went in my room and bawled my eyes out.  I haven't cried that hard in a very long time.  The stress of moving, selling our house and the last week of school finally caught up to me and I lost it.  I wanted to crawl up in a ball and never get out.  Then just a little while later I was listening to the song off "The Greastest Showman" about a Million Dream and I just had a moment of realizing that what I thought was a big deal really wasn't.  I was going to be okay and we are going to come out on top of all this.  It really did help change my perspective.  So in the moments in life when I'm super overwhelmed and frustrated I just need to find a song or something that changes my perspective and helps me remember that I won't be perfect today.  But I can try the very best I can.  That is what I strive to do, the very best I possibly can.  My kids and Husband deserve at least that. One of my favorite sayings as of right now is.  We can either let the past define us or we can learn from it, it's our choice.
