The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new. ~Rajneesh

These are the children who call me "mommy"....yes, I know how unbelievably lucky I am.

I never fully appreciated my own mom (and my mother-in-law) until I had kids. There is so much in life that I have learned from these little guys and am still learning about myself (I thought I was done after college)like how completely self absorbed I was-haha I had no idea! I am not really a sappy person by nature but since becoming a mom..well you know as the quote says above "motherhood is new" so watch out people....I may just cry my eyes out over absolutely nothing--ugh! anyway, I do feel like a NEW person as a mom and its a good and welcome change. Its a journey that I am glad I am on and I honestly dont remember what I did with my self before I had kids...seriously what did I do?!!
