Belated thoughts on Motherhood

Motherhood is...

- All those amazing catches you make when bottles are thrown, glasses are knocked over, or plates pulled off the counter...and the one person in your audience doesn't appreciate or understand it!

- Realizing that your mother felt and still feels the same way about you that you feel to your little one (and probably went through many of the same things!).

- How is it that the baby always knows when you and your hubby are ___ and, not liking that someone else could have your attention, decides to scream???

...I'm sure I'll think of more :-)

Pain is

- Having to ignore your little one, when all he wants is you, but you just can't give yourself to him all the time (like when you are cooking over a hot stove or cutting vegetables with sharp knives)

- Knowing that this little baby who only wants you will too quickly grow up and you will be one of the people he does not　ｗａｎｔ　anywhere　near　ｈｉｍ。
