This is the question that almost everyone asks me these days. To be honest, I LOVE it, but who would answer this questions with - "well, I don't really like it...", some people may feel this way, but not many would say it. In all seriousness, I was one of those people that did not want kids. I went through a phrase (yes, I will call it a phrase because that is what it turned out to be) where I was so adamant about not having kids, I was sure I'd never had one. You can ask my close friends and family and they will tell you the same thing. Now, I could not imagine my life any other way. It is indescribable the feeling that your child brings you. I look forward to every time she wakes up and sees me, gets excited and smiles at me - her mom. The instant love I have for her is amazing and unlike any other love you could feel. Yes, I love my husband, family, and friends, but the love for a child is completely different and truly unconditional. Maybe I am part naive since my daughter is only 12 weeks old and hasn't ever said she hated me or got in trouble, but I would hope to believe that this type of love will never change. It is simple, real, and perfect in its raw existence. To everyone who is contemplating being a parent, I get it, but the gift a child brings to your life is simply that- a gift and no one can tell you what being a parent feels like until you are one.
Hope everyone is well and we will see you all this weekend.

I remember having those same feeling when Hayden was born. I not only love my children but I am in love with them all. You're right there is no way to explain what its like to love child until you become a mother. There is nothing in the world that you wouldn't do for that child and there is nothing in the world that would make you stop loving them. The love of a mother is truly remarkable.
One of my favorite things in the world to do is watch my children. I love to see them playing and interacting with each other. They give me such joy (and stress) but I would not change any of it for the world.
I can't wait to see you guys this weekend and meet your little girl.
