the joy of motherhood

I cannot believe the joy one gets from being a parent,being a mother opens your heart,your mind and your abilities to the level you never imagined possible before.This feelin I have now is a total contrast to what I thought before I got pregnant.I thought a baby would limit me or I would not be able to care,love or I would be inadequate,that is why when I discovered I was carrying a little one, above the excitement I felt there was fear,uncertainty,nervousness and inadecaucy.From the very first moment I knew I love her and I knew I had to do research and learn about babies so that I am ready for the road ahead.I bought books,my husband borrowed books we read and oh boy what a journey.I read like I was studying for an exam,those books helped me connect to my baby because through them I understood what was happening or what development stage she was at and that helped me to do what she expected of me at each stage.she is hear now a beautifull girl with so much energy its like my heart is suddenly bitting outside my body with a life of its own.the best feeling ever.
