THE DAY YOU BECOME A MOTHER

You might be a mother. Or you might be preparing to be a mother.  Either way you're there or you're very close. And although every story is different, built from beautiful diverse love stories and or unusual circumstance, the intertwined common thread we all share here, is the day you become a mother is unlike any other day you will ever have in your lifetime. And it's inexplicable. You can't write the right words. They don't run off your tongue like a prosed poet. You're baffled, confused and short of breath. Because it doesn't make sense how a tiny innocent child can make all your dreams come true. But, yet she does. And here's why.

I’m pretty sure I told my sister I would have a natural birth. And by natural I meant, no drugs, only candles lit, calm, quiet breathing, perfect natural birth. Also, that Sarah McLachlan would be playing in the background.  I’m also pretty sure this was before I was pregnant with my first child. And probably before I was married.
