I have always wanted to be a mom. I used to pretend I had kids all the time. My love for children grew into lots of baby-sitting jobs and I guess once I had to manage real children I just figured parenthood would be like an extended baby-sitting job. HA! I forgot that the parents used to tell me how their child needed to be cared for, when things happened, what to feed them... I was so not prepared for the major decisions you have to make for your little one right from the start. I guess I got lost in my pregnancy and birth that I forgot there was a whole extra scenario afterwards. I mean I obviously thought about it some but in the fun rainbows and butterflies way not the breastfeeding hardships, reflux/allergy issues, bouncing on a yoga ball constantly, trying to figure out when naps needed to happen... etc.
Motherhood is not as easy as I would have appreciated ;-) but I still love being a mom. Getting smiles and giggles are the best and when he snuggles up next to me I can (most of the time) forget how tired (or hungry or dirty) I am and just enjoy the moment. Nobody ever said it was going to be easy but I guess I didn't hear that part... selective hearing.
