Motherhood- a scrapbook of thoughts

Hi.

I have recently done a scrapbook layout about my own experiences as a mother, I have entitled it MOTHERHOOD (attached).

The journal is as follows...Motherhood… starts when your pregnancy test kit showed 2 linesand you can’t help but cry because you waited longenough to want it so much.… is anticipating every month’s visit to the OB andyou pray to hear the baby’s heartbeat again.… is trying to endure all the pains of giving birth,be it normal delivery or by CS, just to see, hug andkiss your baby.… is waiting every month to capture all your baby’s‘firsts’ with a camera, and feeling sad when anotherperson in the house sees them first.… is watching Barney, and memorizing the songs, justso you’d be able to sing with your child when you’reasked to.… is sleeping outside the bedroom and praying to spareyour child when you’re down with flu.… is stopping whatever you’re doing when your childcalls you and asks you to draw something or read astory.… is feeling nervous (more than excited) on yourchild’s first day of pre-school.… is learning to do scrapbooks no matter how‘un-creative’ you are just to be able to give themsomething they’ll cherish when they’ve grown.… is trying very hard to suppress your anger when yourchild gets uncontrollable because you know that it’sjust not worth it.… is feeling really down because your child is verysick and you wish that its just you.… is bittersweet. I’ve been a mother fortwo-and-a-half years and I know there’ll be MORE sweetand painful experiences coming my way. But, no matterwhat, I know I'll do just fine.

Regards,
Jane
