What Surprised You About Becoming a Mother

An excerpt from the book
"What Every Mom Needs".  By: Elisa Morgan & Carol Kuykendall.
Thank you Lori H. 

What Surprised You about Becoming a Mother

Myself.
My temper and impatience.
How tired I feel.
How much I love my child.
That while I love my children, some days I don't like them.
How I can't wait to get away from my children,
and then when I do, how much I miss them.
How being a mom brings out the best and worst in me.
Some things I say to my children that I vowed I'd never say.
How many times a nose needs to be wiped.
How long a day can be.
How quickly children change from stage to stage.
How much more I appreciate my mother.
How much more I understand God's love for me.
How wonderful it is to be called "Mommy."
