The Ultimate Blessing~ Compliments of Hippie Square~ She blogged this and as a "Mother," this brought tears to my eye just as I read it. So, I had to post this...................... We are sitting at lunch one day when my casually mentions that she and her husband are thinking of "starting a family." "We're taking a survey," she says half-joking. "Do you think I should have a baby?" "It will change your life," I say, carefully keeping my tone neutral. "I know," she says, "no more sleeping in on weekends, no more spontaneous vacations." But that is not what I meant at all. I look at my , trying to decide what to tell her. I want her to know what she will never learn in childbirth classes. I want to tell her that the physical wounds of bearing will heal, but becoming a mother will leave her with an emotional wound so raw that she will forever be vulnerable. I consider warning her that she will never again read a newspaper without asking, "What if that had been MY ?" That every plane crash, every house fire will haunt her. That when she sees pictures of starving , she will wonder if anything could be worse than watching your die. I look at her carefully manicured nails and stylish suit and think that no matter how sophisticated she is, becoming a mother will reduce her to the primitive level of a bear protecting her cub. That an urgent call of "Mom!" will cause her to drop a soufflé or her best crystal without a moments hesitation. I feel that I should warn her that no matter how many years she has invested in her career, she will be professionally derailed by motherhood. She might arrange for childcare, but one day she will be going into an important business meeting and she will think of her baby's sweet smell. She will have to use every ounce of discipline to keep from running home, just to make sure her baby is all right. I want my to know that every day decisions will no longer be routine. That a five year old boy's desire to go to the men's room rather than the women's at McDonald's will become a major dilemma. That right there, in the midst of clattering trays and screaming , issues of independence and gender identity will be weighed against the prospect that a molester may be lurking in that restroom. However decisive she may be at the office, she will second-guess herself constantly as a mother. Looking at my attractive , I want to assure her that eventually she will shed the pounds of pregnancy, but she will never feel the same about herself. That her life, now so important, will be of less value to her once she has a . That she would give herself up in a moment to save her offspring, but will also begin to hope for more years, not to accomplish her own dreams, but to watch her accomplish theirs. I want her to know that a cesarean scar or shiny stretch marks will become badges of honor. My 's relationship with her husband will change, but not in the way she thinks. I wish she could understand how much more you can love a man who is careful to powder the baby or who never hesitates to play with his . I think she should know that she will fall in love with him again for reasons she would now find very unromantic. I wish my could sense the bond she will feel with women throughout history who have tried to stop war, prejudice and drunk driving. I want to describe to my the exhilaration of seeing your learn to ride a bike. I want to capture for her the belly laugh of a baby who is touching the soft fur of a or cat for the first time. I want her to taste the joy that is so real it actually hurts. My 's quizzical look makes me realize that tears have formed in my eyes. "You'll never regret it," I finally say. Then I reached across the table, squeezed my 's hand and offered a silent prayer for her, and for me, and for all the mere mortal women who stumble their way into this most wonderful of callings. Please share this with a Mom that you know or all of your girlfriends who may someday be Moms. May you always have in your arms the one who is in your heart.  |

Since my daughther is expecting her first(and my first grandchild) this really hits home, even for a man....because many of the things mentioned here are what I have felt since the day my daughters were born..... This was one of those pieces that makes you just sit and wander down memory lane and the roads ahead....

This was one of those pieces that makes you just sit and wander down memory lane and the roads ahead.... Thats nice to hear coming from a "Man." From a womans point of view, it starts at the time of conception and stays with us (no matter what) forever!!! I, too took a jog down memory lane as I read this. Although, my daughter is a young teenager, she'll always be my baby! Even when she's as old as I am today, she'll always be my baby!! There's not a day that goes by that I dont tell her that I love her and mean it when I say it. As far as the roads ahead, I will protect her with everything I got.ok....now I'm gonna cry again...lemme stop!

This is an amazing piece. It brought a tear to my eye, reminding me of how I felt the first time I held my little guy......... And it is all so true! How your thought process and instincts change, how you always second guess the decision no matter how logical it may seem, and the "what if it were MY child" point. It all really hits home. Thank you for sharing it! If you should die before me, ask if you can bring a friend........
