Sometimes I wonder if I feel this way because Miss S is in my life. We are only 16 years apart which makes it easier for me to relate to her age {so I'd like to think} because my high school years and early 20's are still fresh in my mind. That's a good thing right? Forever young?
So now that baby #2 is expected to arrive in about 4 weeks, I wonder if it will change my perspective on motherhood. Or will I still feel the same way - in awe and disbelief that these beings are actually my kids - only just a little more sleep deprived?
Did having more kids change your perspective on motherhood?
i can't believe you only have four weeks to go! how exciting, i can't wait to wake up one morning and find Swank Baby pics on my instagram :)
ReplyDeletehonestly? i feel just the opposite. with Otto, from second #1 i felt intensely like "Otto's Mother" and that my whole being was wrapped up in being his mom. With Loretta (and now with Otto too) I feel like just by virtue of being stretched in so many directions that I am more juggling motherhood with other things like work, personal stuff, family, etc. Not that I don't feel like their mom, but I feel more relaxed and well-rounded about the whole business now. I don't think either feeling is better than the other one though, but definitely don't feel "More" like a mom now.
ok, xoxoxoxoxo <3
