So I have come to realize that I am not the mom that I thought that I wanted to be. When I was pregnant I would often take an extra look at mothers with their babies. I saw the women that were dressed very cute with their designer diaper bag, hair done, and make-up on. I thought that is the mom that I am going to be. She looks so put together. I am now proud to say that I am definitely not that mom. I am the mom with her hair in a ponytail, spit up on her shirt, and diapers falling out of her bag. I am the mom that is late to everything because she was playing with her son and lost track of time. I am the mom who often does not get her teeth brushed until 10 or 11am (on her days off:) because her son is happiest in the morning and she doesn't want to miss his laughter. I am the mom who has no idea what is in style right now and really doesn't care.
Nothing can prepare you for motherhood. I was definitely shocked when I fell into it but I love every second of it. I am a very proud mother, who may be dirty or disheveled or late sometimes but I love my son and I think it shows. :)
