motherhood

Being a mom is the most tiresome, underpaid, overworked thankless yet rewarding job I have ever had in my life! I remember when I was 21 and expecting my first son. I was scared to death of the responsibility of taking care of someone else. When he was born I was afraid to go home from the hospital with him. I just knew I was gonna break him or hurt him somehow, but I didn't.
When my 2nd baby was born only 22months later and had to stay in the hospital I cried because I came home empty handed. My journey in motherhood has taken me thru NICU visits, sitting up countless nights doing albuterol treatments, fevers, stomach bugs, strange rashes and surgeries(my youngest was born with extra appendages). I wouldn't trade any of those experiences for nothing in this world.
Everytime I look at my boys I get overwhelmed by how much I love them. I'm amazed everyday by the little people they are becoming with their own likes dislikes and cute personalities. Motherhood is a gift and I hope to experience it atleast once more
