I guess its that weakness that got me thinking (in my 11th month of marriage) of motherhood. My maternal traits in my DNA just hit me. I really wanted to be a mom. Even though I've always thought and wanted babies because of their unabashed yummy cuteness, but being a mother was a whole other story.
Luckily for me having an elder sister did help me a lot. Seeing how she went through the whole motherhood phase gave me a gist of what motherhood could be like. Let me tell you, not a piece of cake. I realized behind all the kissing on the chubby cheeks and making noises on their tummies, there were sleepless night, picky eating, endless tantrums etc.. Maybe I guess for many being a mother is just a part of the vocation of womanhood and I guess that was the reason I was sooooo ready for it.
But as you know this isn't a one person kinda job. My husband AJ being in a similar profession as mine was surprisingly very ready to be a dad too. Why I say surprising is because like me he too is a person who is very dedicated to his work and you can say kind of a workaholic. He was also ready and we were like... "Let's do this!!!"
So began our new phase of life which I would like to call "Project Baby". But little did we know that Project Baby wasn't gonna be like any of the projects we've ever taken up.
I hope you have a wonderful journey through motherhood.
