Becoming a mother for the first time is always a massive learning curve, but Naomi Clarke has shared that even when you have baby number three, it can still be tough as you adjust to juggling even more than before.
Today the style influencer shared a gorgeous snap of her with her three girls captioned; “Outnumbered, overwhelmed and exhausted but so content.”
She went on to say; “I shared a quote this morning and it really rings true for me… It says.. “You can do anything, but not everything”… I think, myself and most of us mums in general put so much pressure on ourselves to do it all.”
Naomi then shared a heartfelt message to all other new mums out there saying; “We think we are supposed to be able to do everything and do it well, and if we don’t, that we are somehow failing. That’s not true.”
“The last few weeks have been amazing in so many ways; I feel so content , I feel so so lucky that Kaia came into the world safely and seeing the girls together is incredible, in fact that part is even better than I imagined.”
However, as amazing as it is Naomi also revealed that at times it can be difficult; “It’s also hectic!! It’s a whole new level of crazy! I feel I’m being pulled in a million different directions and not quite managing to give any one of my girls enough. Then the guilt hits.”
We’re sure most parents out there will feel the same, that there is never enough hours in the day, and Naomi opened up about that feeling.
Naomi continued; “The days pass by in what feels like seconds and I never quite feel I’ve achieved anything. Trying to juggle it all is hard; being a mammy, run my business (I had to take a work call this week and I was barely able form a sentence, am in planning stages for something big happening in a few months) plus staying on top of my type one diabetes, all together it can feel insurmountable.”
“I do know it will get easier, I know this time will pass and soon become a distant memory, I know sleep will return , I know the reflux will end, and I know someday I’ll yearn for this time back again, but it’s also ok to say some days are really hard too.”
“We don’t see enough of that on here. So if it ever , ever looks here on Instagram that I have my sh*t together, majority of the time I don’t, trust me. So if you don’t either, welcome to the club.”
