Motherhood: What do I know now that I wish I had known then?
I was asked this question and I thought my answer would make for a great post. I realize that I still don't know a whole lot. However,I wish I would have know that reading the books would not prepare me like I thought. I was still terrified when we took her home. This is definitely on the job training. I tell my daughter that I am still learning and I do not have all the answers, but I am doing my best. My daughter tell me so far so good, right now. If you had told me that I could love another human being as much as I love my daughter, I probably would not have believed you, but WOW I do. I always thought the love of my life would be some man and it turned out to be my daughter. How blessed am I, totally blessed with her love. I fall more deeply in love with her everyday, even through the tantrums, okay not so much, just kidding. :)

Hi, I am Carrie from over at The Mom Blog Network. We were discussing blogrolling over in the forum and adding our friends to our blogroll. I just added you and left a message over at the forum with my information. I'll technorati fave you, too.
Oh.. I remember the BOOKS.. I had tons of them for my firstborn.. The only trouble with those is that when you looked in the index, there was no page to turn to for a scream sounding like an angry pelican, or a sick hippo.. There's was also no indexing page for what to do if your baby looked like he would spew fire at you if you didn't figure out what the problem was in the next two seconds.. Plus they make you panic.. Oh no, my baby isn't developing at this rate, he's got this illness, etc.. I wish I had known how this job really did take 24 hours a day and then some.. I don't think I fully grasped that concept of being oncall FOREVER, until it happened..
