Last night I overheard a group of girls talking about the "cons" of motherhood such as, "It'll make your body ugly," to "You won't have a life," and all the way to, "It'll ruin your life." Of course, that is their opinion and that's totally fine, but in all honesty I don't think I can ever fully comprehend how someone can think that motherhood will "ruin your life" or how motherhood will make it so that "you won't have a life," or how "it'll make your body ugly."
For me and (assuming) for a majority of moms, motherhood has brought a profound positive change in their lives. For myself, becoming a mom brought along a whole new set of challenges, new emotions, a whole new level of happiness, and an intense love for my son. Never once in my life have I felt such a joy till I had my baby Travis. The joy and love that comes with having a child is much more intense than the happiness and love that comes from finding that right person for you.
Being a mother did come with a lot of sleep deprived days and nights, frantic worrying, stress, a body that just doesn't seem right, and at times frustration, but it is a beautiful experience and the most wonderful role to be in. The happiness that comes from seeing your baby after giving birth, to seeing him/her smile for the first time, and to hearing him/her say "mama" is indescribable.
So I may not be be able to go out all the time or have a booming career at the moment because I opt to not work as much. I may have stretch marks, bags under my eyes, a flabby stomach, and not be able to sleep in as I used too, but I am the happiest person in the world because of my little prince (and of course my wonderful husband and family)!
