13. That I'd be just as happy with a boy as I would be with a girl. ( I always wanted a little girl )
12. That being peed on isn't as gross as it sounds...as long as it's a baby that pees on you (haha)
11. That when you see those storys on the news about children being abducted, sexually molested, abused etc. that it would affect me so much more deeply and would make me want to curb stomp a mother fucker
10. Mothers instincs, it's not a bunch of bullshit that Moms talk about to make themselves seem like super heros (lol)
9. That it would hurt so bad when I have to hold my son down to get his shots. It makes me feel like a sort of kiddie executioner, and a horrible person.
8. I didn't expect to feel such a strong attachment to my son when he was first born, but from the minute I laid eyes on him and they laid him on my belly I haven't been the same. That's the moment in time when it really hit me, like a mac truck I might add, that this little person is, was and always will be the core of my universe.
7. Before I was pregnant with Aiden I thought breast feeding was gross, I famously said "I ain't walking around with no body attached to my titty, eww" as soon as I got pregnant and did my research though, I knew I would BF my son. It's not gross, it's beautiful, emotionally fulfilling, and the best bonding experience I could have had with my newborn son.
6. That I wouldn't mind getting up every 2 hours to feed him. No matter how sleep deprived I was, it was never "a burden" it was something that I actually enjoyed.
5. I never thought that I would actually go shopping, but 200 dollars worth of kid stuff, and a box of tampons and deoderant for myself.
4. That being selfless can actually be fulfilling, as long as you don't lose yourself completely.
3. That having a baby would actually strenghten the bond that I feel with my husband and bring us closer together. Seeing him with Aiden, how great he is with him, the look in his eyes when Aiden is telling him a "story" or giggling makes me fall in love with him all over again.
2. I never thought that someone so tiny, so helpless, someone who can't talk could inspire me in a thousand new ways daily, and most importantly to be a better person and live a better life.
1. That love really is unconditionl.
