I always knew that becoming a mom would rock my world. I wasn't entirely sure how, or what that would look like, but I knew that it would be an incomprehensible change. With that said, there are still some things that I'm amazed no one ever told me. Or maybe I just couldn't understand it until now...
They never told me that having a baby would take my heart and move it outside my body.
They never told me that you would want nothing more than to hold this being as close to yourself as possible, while knowing you are doing a good job by watching them grow farther and farther away from you.
They never told me that my heart would swell to new proportions and break a little every single day.
They never told me that I would never be so scared in my whole life- all. the. time.
They never told me it would open my heart to all humanity.
They never told me it would break down so many of my walls, leaving me so raw and vulnerable- and never happier.
Having a baby is amazing. Truly truly amazing.
