I originally posted this when T was about 5 months old. It seems an appropriate thing to post today. I've added a few new items (in blue).
Becoming a mom ...
Has given me a new sense of humor. I have laughed more in the past 5 months about poo than in the entirety of the rest of my life.
Becoming a mom ...
Has taught be about patience ... and frustration. Only when your child is crying for the 45th straight minute can you understand how both emotions can co-exist.
Becoming a mom ...
Has taught me about love. I love my husband in knowledge. I can explain all the reasons I love him. I love my son almost without knowledge. All I know about this love is that it fills my heart every time I see or think of him.
Becoming a mom ...
Has given me a mother's heart. Now when I see a child cry or hurt, I want to scoop them up, pet their hair and soothe them. Hearing my own child cry hurts in a place I didn't know existed.
Becoming a mom ...
Helps me to understand my own mother. I now understand why she cried through every school event, why she gets so angry when she feels I've been poorly treated, why she still calls me her baby.
Becoming a mom ...
Has taught me that sometimes doing the right thing for your child means that they might cry and
Becoming a mom ...
Has taught me that listening to those cries still hurts.

Becoming a mom ...
Makes you the world's best multi-tasker.
Becoming a mom ...
Makes it a lot easier to ignore the dirt and clutter. After all, your kids will remember the playtime, not the fact that they always had cat hair on their clothes.
Becoming a mom ...
Means having to prove that you are more stubborn. Every. Single. Day.
Becoming a mom ...
Means falling completely in love with your second baby. Even when you secretly wondered if you could love anyone as much as your first.
Becoming a mom ...
Has taught me to value my own parents. And be thankful that they didn't sell me to the gypsies.
Makes me grateful. Grateful to God for blessing our family with such a tremendous gift. Grateful to my husband for being such a loving man and supporting our family. Grateful to my parents for teaching me right from wrong and how not to be a brat. Grateful that every morning I get to look into the eyes of my son and see trust and love shining from them.
Becoming a mom ...
Is my greatest accomplishment.
