Motherhood - A life changing experience

j
She discovered with time that her life had changed and she had transitioned too. Motherhood was like nothing she'd ever read, heard or known. It was beautiful yet awe-inspiring.


21 things that change when you have a baby:
  1. Where you once believed you were fearless, you now find yourself afraid.
  2. You respect your body ... finally.
  3. You respect your parents and love them in a new way.
  4. You find that your baby's pain feels much worse than your own.
  5. You believe once again in the things you believed in as a child.
  6. You lose touch with the people in your life whom you should have banished years ago.
  7. Your heart breaks much more easily.
  8. You think of someone else 234,836,178,976 times a day.
  9. Every day is a surprise.
  10. You look at your baby in the mirror instead of yourself.
  11. You become a morning person.
  12. Your love becomes limitless, a superhuman power.
  13. You finally realize that true joy doesn't come from material wealth.
  14. You'd rather buy a plastic tricycle than those shoes that you've been dying to have.
  15. You don't mind going to bed at 9 p.m. on Friday night.
  16. Silence? What's that?
  17. You no longer rely on a clock — your baby now sets your schedule.
  18. You learn that taking a shower is a luxury.
  19. You realize that you can love a complete stranger.
  20. You find yourself wanting to make this world a better place.
  21. If you didn’t believe in love at first sight before, now you do
