What shocked you the most about becoming a mom?

Having a child is the most greatest thing that will happen to yourself. You will forgot all your problem if you can see your children that are happy. Even though you are tired from work still you will be relax seeing your children when you will go home. The shocking thing is when my child gave me something for myself that makes me happy. and she said i deserve that thing because she loves me.

A few things shocked me. The capacity I have for giving...I didn't realize I had so much to give and would willingly give him anything. Another thing that shocked me is just how quickly time passes. When I was a kid, it seemed that it took FOREVER to become an adult. Now that I have my own son, time moves so quickly it takes my breath away. He just turned 5 last week, and it occurred to me that I only have 13 years left before he's grown and on his own. That doesn't seem like very long! It feels like he was just born yesterday, and here he is a big boy already. It makes me sad and proud at the same time.

I didn't know how I would feel once I had my baby. My first daughter, Ashley, was planned, so I knew how I would feel once I had her. I was so amazed how much I could love my daughter at such a young age (19 years old). However, when I got my pregnant with my present daughter, Aradia, I didn't know what to do or how I would feel. I didn't even know if I wanted to keep her. I was actually thinking of giving her up for adoption, as she was not planned, and I was not ready for this yet. Well, to say the least, I am glad that I didn't give her up for adoption or anything else. I love her more than words can describe. She is the love of my life, and I could not imagine my life without her. She makes me feel so happy everyday that I spend with her. She is so smart and so sweet, and, although I am with her all time, I could never get sick of being around her. I want to protect her from this ugly world, and I do my best to not let anyone hurt her. She is my life, my soul, my everything.

for me, it's become a mother itself because i cant imagine that i'm already a mother..that i have this kid who is growing and needs my attention and care and love..all of us mother are really inlove with out kids, that sometimes we make them spoiled, right?hehehe but we cant help it, we love our kid so dearly and in myself i can say that i'm willing to die for my kid..

For me is the sudden realization of how important my every decision was. Everything from what to eat to where to go lead to so many possiblities, some that would last for years.
