What is the Biggest Change that you Noticed. . .

Hi Dorann, There's a great change in priorities. Self will always comes last. My kids always come first. I see to it that everything is well provided, not only those material things but the love that they truely need. Most of the time i set aside too my needs if it will make sacrificing theirs...i will give way!

I have to agree with most of you moms out there. It has changed my life so much that my 24/7 revolves my son now. Before I used to think of what I need and what i want but now when I go to the store I think of him first. I make sure everything is provided for with his needs then I can go on to my list already and help myself out. Nowadays I save up unlike before I did not have to. I do not have time to go and pamper myself because my son wants me around all the time. But of course I really try even once a month to find time for myself.

Well.... I no longer go out and spend $150 at Victoria's Secret whenever lol. I resigned from my job basically when I got pregnant. I have worked part time since then but that was a disaster with my family. I have found out since having my daughter that I really enjoy teaching and working with kids, so THAT is a big change for me. I mean I know I like being a parent but I figured I would NEVER find a career path that I enjoyed. I recently took a class to get a certification so I am qualified to work for the school district if I decide to start looking for a job. I play to tailor my working hours around her schedule so that I am only working during time she is at school. Outside of that, I want to make sure I am home or available because I don't ever want to use daycare. I think more about being a good example for her, I think about all kinds of things that people don't generally consider seriously if they are single and/or have no children. It wasn't really a big change for me though, because I prepared to be a parent when I was still pretty young, it just took me almost 10 years to make it happen lol. She is almost six now, so I have been a mom for almost 7 years.

I am a mother earth type of lady. I lost 5 babies in miscarriages and have four live children and four grands. With regard to motherhood all I can say is " I'm drinking from my saucer as my cup has overflowed'. Despite ups and downs my family is my greatest achievement as they are all close to each other - and me. What I have learnt is that love is never used up. always enough love for another child.

It is a wonderful feeling to be a mom! Isn't it? Our world suddenly changes and revolves around our child. After my son was born, I have revelled in all the ways that I spend time with him. The closest times are when I give him a bath and wash and scrub him after he comes home from play. Our favourite time is when I wrap him in towel and dry him and apply body lotion and tickle him and he giggles. His laughter is so precious to me!! It is also wonderful to solve jigsaw puzzles and read story books with him.And the best time of the day is when I tuck him into bed at night with pillows all around him an snugly wrap him in his blanket so he feels warm and cared for. I love him very much and the day just flies in all these activities. I agree that it is wonderful being a mom!!

How my thoughts are first to my child. All things I process are in relation to how it will affect him. :)

i would have to agree with you there. i have done lots of things and ate lots of food that i wouldnt have if i didnt have any kids! who would go to an amusement park or eat at a fast food place if not for kids? lol

yes most new parents often say that they changed after they had their first child. and it is really exciting phase in their life to see the child grow and care for the child.

First, happy big seventh birthday to your Kathryn! I'd have to agree that the biggest change that I noticed was my world now revolved around our daughter . . . and now that we have 2, even moreso! We started a family "late", but we got a lot of our own things done before that . . . so we were only too happy to give it our all once we decided to have a family. I still dabble a bit in the many things I did do . . . and I will get back to them once my kids are in school full time and more independent . . . but for now much of my time and energy and everything else goes to them.
