Motherhood filled a void in my heart that I didn't know I was missing. Here are some other ways motherhood has changed me.
•• I am able to focus on what is actually important. I get so much more joy from watching my baby learn something new than by a big pay-check or big event.
•• I can multitask so much better. I can make dinner, clean a mess, rock a baby and finish a paper like I never would have imagined.
•• I have become accustomed to no privacy. I havnt been able to use the restroom with no little company for quite a while even when it is alone their is a pair of little hands sneaking in under the door trying to get in.
••It has given me or endurance and made me stronger... I can pull all nighter's with just a diet coke and can carry a 25 lb baby anywhere and everywhere, while holding a couple bags of groceries in the other hand.
•• I am so much more compassionate, even more so when it comes to parents with children, I am now more likely to open doors, give up seats, pick up toys or, at the very least, shoot a sympathetic, "Sorry, I have totally been there!" glance.
•• I have learned to appreciate my body more. I used to be so hard on it and picked apart every flaw. Sure, I still have some flaws (a lot) but I am more amazed at what it can do. It created and gave birth to such an amazing baby and that exceeds any negative.
•• It has helped me to slow down enjoy small and simple things; it was always go go go.. Before I had Boston I hardly ever did small things like feed ducks or go on walks. They are her favorite things and have become some of my favorites as well.
I remember being pregnant with Boston and not even being able to fathom what life would be like with her, now I can't even imagine life without her. I guess motherhood didn't really change me but more so it made me.
