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".

"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 can honestly say that those sleepless days/nights and whatever else are NOT at the forefront of my memories with Jane. It's all in your attitude! I loved those sleepless nights when I got to hold her and cuddle her just the two of us. I knew they were limited and now I am so grateful that I embraced them instead of dreading them. Such a sweet, precious time that I will NEVER have with her again. You are going to love being a mom-and remember-it's all in your attitude! You can laugh when pee and poop gets all over the place or you can let it upset you. Knowing my girl though, I know you'll do the former! xoxox
ReplyDeleteIt definitely is worth it, but hard too! Just get plenty of pain killers for those first couple weeks and you'll do fine =).
