It's been a week since Cardi B welcomed her daughter, Kulture Kiari Cephus, into the world. Cardi hasn't shown the world any pictures of her baby girl, but she's been keeping it super real on social media about what life is really like as a new mom. In other words, Cardi B is tired. Like, really tired.
She posted a cute video to thank fans for her VMA nominations, though, she doesn't actually appear in it. Instead, she use's one of Kulture's dolls as a proxy while she speaks from behind the camera. The reason she doesn't want to be on camera? New mom life has her looking "f**cked up in the game. My hair is f**cked up. My eyes are so dark and puffy. I'm wild pale, a bitch looks like she has jaundice!"
We're pretty sure all new moms can relate to Cardi's honesty. She even capped off the video by saying "No matter how many books you read, or how much advice you get, you'll never be ready for mommy mode." So relatable.
Her Instagram video isn't the only time Cardi has opened up about that new mom life. She took took to Twitter a few days ago to reveal she now understands why parents get so mad when somebody wakes up their kid. "When parents say 'if you wake the baby up YOU PUTTING HER BACK SLEEP!' I feel that."
She has the receipts that Kulture is keeping her up all hours of the nap. She's taken to Instagram stories twice to share how tired she is. "I need sleep," one says over a picture of her eye. Another has a time stamp of 4:16 a.m.
No matter how tired Cardi gets, though, she's still so happy her baby girl is finally here. One of the other relatable things Cardi has shared on social media since becoming a new mom? Her joyful disbelief that she really is somebody's mom. "I still can't believe it, all mines" she shared on Twitter.
So cute! We already love this mommy-daughter duo so much.
