    Motherhood is a wonderful experience that I don't think anyone can be fully prepared for not matter how much reading or childbirth educ classes you take. From feeling the flutter of movement in your belly to watching an alien elbow or knee move across your stretched abdomen, it is quite amazing.

    Now that my baby is almost 25, I look at how fast time passes and there are many moments I wish I could go back and handle differently. It's a shame we don't get a practice run at parenting and at marriage because we often don't realize the impact of some of the smallest decisions or comments we make and the impact they might have down the road for our families.

    I am so proud of my daughter and the woman she has become. She's an ICU nurse and plans to go back to school to be a CRNA. She's loving and compassionate and has a kind heart. She was the first in our family to introduce a biracial relationship and and I'm sorry to say she caught a lot of grief for it. I wish I had showed more support in the beginning, but by going through it I have learned so much and expanded my view to be my view, and not based on what what my father thought about it. I respect her greatly for the strength and courage she showed. Her boyfriend will make a very loving husband and father and that's really what we should hope our kids wind up with if they choose to marry.

    Motherhood is the most rewarding, changelling, and satisfying experience that I went through. As you said, it all starts with one being pregnant. The idea of knowing one is expecting a child is both exciting and changelling. Having morning sickness
    (though not all mothers do), the body enlarging and all the changes that come with being pregnant are all forgotten when a mother sees the baby for the first time or hears the first cry.

    When I held my son for the first time after delievery, I fell in love with him instantly, this is the kind of love that no words can express. Immediately I forgot about the labor pains and all the unpleasant feelings I had while pregnant.

    My son in now 26 years old, I can die for him, he is my joy and he makes me feel and know that motherhood is the most rewarding gift on earth.
