Having a baby and being a mother is one of God’s greatest blessings indeed. The miracle of bringing a life into this world is far beyond our imagination. It’s a beautiful reality. The moment a woman steps into her motherhood, her whole life changes. This shift of priorities is not as easy as a lot of people see it. Being a mother is a full time job and definitely one of the underrated ones in today’s world. It takes someone strong to grow a life in the womb for 9 months, then protect and nourish it for the rest of its life. Probably, that’s why God chose women for this job.

Meet the brave and beautiful mommy of two, Jamina Bone.
“It went from a very educational approach where I was constantly looking up the ‘best’ way to handle every aspect to being unable to move, I used to plan activities, limit screen time, and make every opportunity a learning moment. I was a Special Educator before having kids so this was everything I wanted and felt equipped to do it all. When PPD hit, it was like wading through mud or even quicksand and still being expected to do all the things. I kept the negative thoughts in my head and often imagined terrifying things from hurting myself to the death of my baby. Being isolated the first several months and lack of sleep were definite factors that played into depression but also not dealing with the sudden death of my mother in law to cancer when I was pregnant. I didn’t realize these were risk factors.”
