You know one of my sticky beak sites is Mrs Negative, i have been reading her blog for a long time and more recenty after a struggle she has become a mum. It is so wonderful to read her blog... What she says is all the small things that so many mums ?take for granted or maybe just dont often express because they are caught up in all the little things.. these are the things that i dream and long to feel and it is nice to see a new mum (or an old one) cheerish even the small things of being a mother that i miss out on every day...
Mrs Negative says" I can't quite explain how it feels to finally be a mother. Even to myself. It's so much broader than I ever imagined. Of course, I knew that being a mother meant having a child, but I never thought about all the...moments. The hundreds of tiny moments that combine together and create a day. Wiping his face. Putting on socks. Bathing him, clinging onto slippery arms as he thrashes, splashing suds into his own face. Announcing to no-one in particular "Oh, he's tired" or assuring Cooper that "I'm coming, just a minute" as he bellows from his crib.
I feel more important than ever before.
I feel more normal than ever before.
I feel like I finally belong.
And it is a feeling renewed everyday."
I want to fee important
I want to feel normal
I want to belong
and who needs to say renewed.....
