When I was pregnant with Jacob, I pondered a lot on what I thought motherhood was…the best way to care for the unborn, the ins and outs of labor and delivery, breastfeeding at its best, bathing, feeding, diapering, etc. After all, I was having a BABY! And I wanted to be prepared.
But slowly over those first few months and years, the magnitude and responsibility of this role began to seep in to my soul…drop by drop. And soon I realized that this mantle that I shouldered was consuming my thoughts and my decisions and my heart.
What do I need to teach them?
How do I teach them?
How will they know that I love them?
How do I give them the gift of independence, despite that secret desire to keep them dependent?
What can I do to help them be successful, happy, caring, self-confident individuals?
All of this – and I just thought I was having a baby!
It's true – a baby does change EVERYTHING.
To my three sons – thank you for giving me the gift of motherhood.
