I am thrilled that my husband and I can revel in the fun, silly moments of parenting without having to clear a multi-generational gap, and that my parents will be around to witness all the same milestones in my children’s lives as I will. I am relieved that my body is in the stage in which it can produce children easily, and that those children will be healthy. Most of all, I am oddly grateful for the presence of a dependent in the period of great struggle that is building a family. When I worry about where we will be tomorrow, much less ten years from now, all it takes is one utterance of “Mommy” to make me profoundly aware of why doing things “backwards” was the best thing I ever did." Wow - that just summed up my entire feelings on motherhood. Thank you! Great stuff here so far :) “I may not have planned to meet my first baby at age 21, but I always knew that I wanted to have a house full of them.
