i fell upon this lovely description of motherhood today. it brought tears to my eyes and even more excitement to bring a sweet daughter to this world. enjoy this beautiful read!
"We are sitting at lunch one day when my daughter casually mentions that she and her husband are thinking of "starting a family." "We're taking a survey," she says half-joking. "Do you think I should have a baby?""It will change your life," I say, carefully keeping my tone neutral.
"I know," she says, "no more sleeping in on weekends, no more spontaneous vacations."
But that is not what I meant at all. I look at my daughter, trying to decide what to tell her. I want her to know what she will never learn in childbirth classes.
"I know," she says, "no more sleeping in on weekends, no more spontaneous vacations."
