"It's worth it...it's totally worth it"

My experience so far while being pregnant is a having a lot of people tell me their parenting stories. Some are sprinkled with the more intimidating elements of caring for children especially newborns. I see peoples eyes slightly glaze over when they tell me about the early days filled with sleepless days/nights. They might even thrown in a scary 23 hour labor story. Generally the walks down memory lane are ended with a nice line about how parenting is a unique, life changing experience that they wouldn't trade for anything...."it's worth it" or "it's totally worth it". This is something I don't understand yet.

I don't know what that means. And I won't for a couple of months. Someday down the line I will share my take on "it's worth it".
