I never had the urge to be a mom
I read about this lady who wanted to have kids so she could always keep a part of her hubby with her, just in case something happened to him. And I totally felt that.
Nobody told me
I was the perfect parent right up until the minute I gave birth and then, like a sudden squall, I was like every mother in the world, happy, scared, teary with love, teary with dread and wondering what the hell I’d gotten myself into!
The First Day of The Rest Of my Life
Like many new mothers, I was unprepared for the other birth that was happening with my first: the birth of me as a mother. Almost nine years later, I still feel myself growing as a woman and mother.
No Wise Elders
What I wasn't prepared for was the loneliness and isolation I felt a few months after the fourth trimester, when the text messages from friends stopped.
Home Birth At The Break Of dawn
I was driving down Marmion Way when I felt a trickle into my underwear. It was about 5 PM on a hot summer day, and I was on my way to pick up my husband at the metro station.
