It really does! Eight years ago today I had been a mother for approx. 32 hours. I was sore, tired and over-whelmed. And little did I know at that time that my life had changed and nothing about it would ever be the same. I would never sleep soundly again for fear that I might be needed. I would never hear about world events and think about them quite the same way. I would always think, how does this impact my child. I would never think about my needs first like perhaps I did before I became a mother. I also never would have believed you could love someone so much that you just met, but it is true. I've been a mother for eight years now and it's been the scariest, most wonderful thing ever. I can't even imagine my life before I was a mother. And now I am a mother times three! So thank you Belly-Pie for changing my life eight years ago!! Happy Birthday to you wonderful girl and Happy Mother's day to me!
"Making the decision to have a child - it's momentous.
It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body."
-Elizabeth Stone
When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts.
You are connected to your child and to all those who touch your lives.
A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child."
-Sophia Loren
"A Mother holds her children's hands for a while
...their hearts forever."
