Motherhood did change you. :) @ Jennifer Ryan: Glad we’re finally talking! :) It’s amazing how parenting transforms you, and it’s amazing how even the most reluctant person melts and falls in love with their baby once she is born. Twins, wow, you must be BUSY. :) @ Andre Kibbe: “It would be hard to imagine any new parent not acting as if he or she was the first in the universe to go through that transformation.” Exactly.

I'm sorry it's taken me so long, but so glad I was introduced with this post. As an unexpected mom just 2.5 years ago, I became ANGRY because I didn't want my life to be disrupted. I wasn't motherly and I generally found kids to be annoying. (Oh yes, all of this coming from a Psychotherapist and Parent Coach, mind you!) I must admit, there was a small part of me wanting to "practice what I preached" when I did finally have kids, but I could have done without that forever... or so I thought... When I found out my one baby was actually TWO, I was double angry. But the day they arrived - pure bliss. My life was, is, and always will be completely transformed. Your words expressed parenting *perfectly* for those like me -- who are crazy in love with their kids! Thanks, Vered! I'm connected (and subscribing!)
