When did it hit?

Sometimes I still can't believe that I'm a mother of 2. My oldest will be 2 in July and I just had my youngest daughter on May 31. I can't believe i'm so lucky to be blessed with 2 beautiful girls they are my world and i'm happy that I get to share that with them. I know how you feel. I just stare at them sometimes and want to burst with happiness.

Hello. I have a 10 year old and a 14 year old and I still find it hard to believe that I am a mother. These two beautiful, smart, athletic, talented girls are MY daughters? Wow! What did I do to make two great kids turn out like this? I think it have finally hit, maybe the last couple of years, but there are still times of disbelief that I am a mother. I feel like a kid playing make-believe sometimes. I told my mother that and she said she felt like that for years. I think it's pretty normal. I remember when my 14 year old was one year old. It was just her a me as I was a single mother. I remember telling someone that I was so in love with her. The friend on the other end of the telephone line (also a mother) was silent. I thought she must have thought me nuts to use those words "in love". But I have since heard many other mothers say the same thing. God certainly does make miracles.

It didn't hit me until I gave birth and saw her for the first time. I knew I was having a baby but when I saw her it was on "Oh my God, that's a baby... and it's mine!" moment

You cant believe I am a mom too even after I had her I was in amazement that this beautiful little thing grew inside of me and she was going to change my life for the better. I think the first real time it hit me was when we were in a store and she was calling me that beautiful word "MOMMY" and I just looked at her and realized yep shes right im her mommy. Its funny now because when we are in any stores and I hear kids calling out Mommy im always looking to see who is calling me :)

it really hit me the 2nd day. we were in the hospital room and it was my first day out of bed. so i was in the glider, watching tv and rocking him. i was talking to him and he looked up at me and the look on his face was a look of recognition... like he was saying "you're the mommy-person!" i melted.

It hits me harder everyday as I listen to him scream nonstop. Do they ever stop screaming????

LOL, it still hasn't hit me yet! Though for the first month or so, I was shell-shocked. Every once in a while I still break down when I look at him or think of him. It's an amazing thing. Blessed Be

I had a very hard pregnancy and when I gave birth I was suffering from deep depression, then I had postpartum depression on top of it.. I did things automated for a while.. I was a little disconnect from my daughter. I took care of her and she was fine and healthy.. but I felt like I was just a milk producer for her and a caregiver.. I didn't feel like a "mom".. A few month later she was diagnosed with Granuloma Eosinophilic, is a rare case of cells going crazy and eating anything in sight.. in her case it was her skull.. It was treated as a cancer, because is so rare that is the only treatment they had. She had 60% fatality chances. When I was driving home the night the doctor told us, I had to stop on the side of the road crying and that was the day when I felt like a Mom. 1.5 years after she was born. (btw she is a happy healthy 6 year old now)
