One Year Ago...

[persephone3]

On 5/5/05, i found out i was pregnant with my daughter, alice. one year ago today! (Okay, technically yesterday, since it's after midnight - i'm having a bit of insomnia.)

finish this sentence for me:

i never thought... (something to do with how life has changed in the past year)

i'll go first. i never thought having a baby would be this much fun! everyone always made it sound like it was soooooo hard and awful at times.

now you!

i never thought i could love someone as much as i love my son....and then my daughter was born.

Oh so many possibilities to finish that phrase!

I never thought I'd love the color blue so much.

I never thought I'd still like pink and ruffles if a third little girl came around -- and I think I like it even more :

I never thought...

...I'd be a homebirth mama. But I am! Heck, one year ago today, if you'd asked me if I'd have a baby at home, I'd have said no way -- it's great for other women, but not for me. I'll be in the hospital, thankyouverymuch. Then several things happened during my pregnancy to make me give hb another look. Everything fell into place, and I had a beautiful waterbirth in my very own home.

I never thought that recovery could be so easy after having a baby. This go around it was alot easier!

I never thought

I could feel so much love for my dh as a father.

I never knew 24/7 care of a baby would be such a joy. Like Persephone, I'd only ever heard people complain about what a burden children are. But DS isn't an inconvenience in any way, shape, or form.

i never thought motherhood would keep getting better with more children

i enjoyed it loads with 1, even more with 2 and now i have 3 i am having the time of my life, seeing the nurturing qualities that having a smal baby brings out in my little boys and their daddy blows me away.

And if I may add a tiny bit more - I never thought that transitioning into being a mama of 3 could be so much easier than becoming a mama of 1 or 2.
