Do you remember the moment you found out you were becoming a mommy? It’s truly amazing how a line on a test can turn your whole world upside down.
For me, it wasn’t until after those lines popped up with a positive on my pregnancy test that it really started to sink in what motherhood would be.
When you are trying to get pregnant it is all joy and happy imaginings of picturesque moments with baby.
Then the lines happen. That ‘big fat positive’ and more thoughts start to swirl around in the messy hormonal brain of yours.
The reality that this child will be your responsibility forever. For the rest of your life, you will never be without worry or thought of your child.
When a baby is born, so is a mother. With new eyes with which she sees the world. Everything is different. There is beauty where there once was dullness and worries where there was once a happy ignorance of the dangers of the world.
Fears seem to surround, yet there is a beauty that outshines all aspects of life previously known.
Motherhood is beginning. It starts with two lines on a test. With those everything changes. For every last moment of life.
A beautifully terrifying adventure in which you are called to teach, to guide and to nurture another life as they grow. It is the most difficult kind of love and the most wonderful. Becoming Mommy.
