Becoming Mama

My mom, like many of your moms always said, “when you become a mom, you will understand”. Most of the time she would say  this in the context of her being worried about me when my phone was dead during a snow storm or during a celebratory moment like a graduation. Well,  let me tell ya, she was right. (Am I still allowed to roll my eyes?)

From the moment I found out I was pregnant, worry is all I have done. I was worried that I wouldn’t even make it to 13 weeks to right this post. Worried that we wouldn’t hear a heartbeat. Worried about every weird feeling, pain or discomfort I felt. Worried about being SO damn worried, that I was afraid I wasn’t connecting during pregnancy because I thought something would go wrong. I soon realized being worried THAT much could only happen on one condition…I was overwhelmed with love.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I am sure there will be many moments over the next 6 months where i’m freaking out about something. Lesssss be honest. But, I cant control everything, I believe in God’s plan for my life so…what will be will be. Plus, I get to do this with my best friend, my sweet hubby who is already the best daddy in the world. I’m letting love rule and telling worry to go kick rocks!

When I launched Becoming Wiza over a year ago, I said that we as women evolve and grow over time in many ways. I said that we need to embrace change and really dig deep into learning about each stage of life we are in, while also encouraging other women to do the same. Now, LOTS has changed for me since becoming Mrs., and I’m excited to dive back in and share my journey.  Over the last year and a half I have started and left jobs, got married, started and stopped writing, found love in our fur baby Boogie, and now another part of me is growing…literally. Through it all, one thing has remained true, I have been Becoming Wiza each step of the way. I have really, really learned that love, self love, Jesus’s love, martial love, and the love of the people you surround yourself with keeps you going.

Stay tuned for more on becoming all of it…more myself, rocking marriage life, slayin deals and all things mamahood. Thank you for your love, support, prayers and good juju during the last few weeks as we welcome this new stage!
