This post is much overdue. When I was pregnant, I could not believe how many times people would tell me, "Your life is going to change or you will not get any sleep or being a parent is really hard." Well, I am here to tell all of you to ignore the cynical words of some parents. Yes, you do not get any sleep. Yes, you will feel frustrated. Yes, your life becomes all about the child. Yes, you are not going to get to go to the movies, hang out at bars, or be available at a moments notice.
But.....
You will have this amazing little person who you brought into the world.
You will have a physical manifestation of the love that you and your partner share.
You will experience strong, wonderful emotions that you have never felt before.
You will be amazed at how beautiful and precious your child is even when you are cleaning up nasty diapers. (They really are poop machines!)
You will want to cherish every moment as your child will grow so fast.
You will be happy to stay up all night just to find a way to comfort your child.
I could go on and on about all the wonderful moments of being a parent. Don't listen to the cynics. Being a parent is a wonderful and we are lucky to even have the opportunity!
