Hey Wifey, married life is good, but no one told you how the bills were gonna pile up and how you would have to put off on your anniversary vacation for a while until you paid off that last credit card with high interest, trust me, you will pay it down. I know you probably noticed that you have put on a little weight, but if you’re healthy and happy, don’t let it eat away at you. Also your husband loves your body, with that being said, Don’t forget to love yourself. Enjoy yourself. Enjoy your spouse and let them enjoy you. Make where you live homey even if it is a rental. Buy things on clearance and grocery shop from a list with cut coupons in hand. Learn to organize and minimize now, because it will come in handy one day when tiny fingers are quick to make a mess. Make sure you see your gynecologist regularly…and decide if they will be the person who is by your side during your future pregnancy. Don’t put off your questions about sex, please make it a priority to really learn how to be intimate. Take care of yourself in a way that is important to you. Mani’s and pedi’s are nice, but have you ever tried drinking a cup of tea, while meditation music plays, as you open a fresh new book? Take care of your body now, appreciate her, fill her with goodness, in years time she will change and change fast. Wear the lingerie…even if it’s just for a minute. Cook breakfast at home. Sleep in when you’re able, but don’t let the day waste away. Buy a good mattress…and good pillows. Learn to be productive now because this will carry on into your motherhood. Time management is important. Make your lunch the night before. Find out if it’s gluten or dairy that bothers your stomach. Make coffee at home. Drink your weight in water. Save your money, but spend it every once in a while. Hang out with your unmarried friends and listen to your married friends. Learn to sew. Write down your monthly bills. Appreciate silence. Get a pet. Do nice things for a mom who is overly tired. And Make time: for God, For hubby, for family, for friends, and for you.
Still a good mom
