Motherhood

Becoming a mother has completely changed my life. It is an experience that is difficult to understand unless you experience it. The love that you feel when you first hold your child is incredible, and surreal. It took me some time to adjust to how different my life would be. Sometimes frustrating and difficult, but I wouldn’t change a single thing. I love both my sons more than anything and we are looking forward to our new little girl to round out the family.

Motherhood
Weird and surreal
I brought you into this world
 
Tiny hands that grip tight
Smooth skin and sleepy eyes
 
I hold you firmly to my chest
Sleeping soundly in my arms
 
Growing quickly before my eyes
Walking, talking, laughing, singing
 
More wonderful than could be believed
A lifelong labor of love for you and me
