Today I'm linking up with Amy @ Not Your Average Crazy for her series "May is for Moms." Today is all about an interview with myself...
An Interview with Myself
1. Before you ever even had children, how did you feel about being a mother?
Now, my mom will tell you otherwise, but as long as I can remember, I wanted to be a mother. I think where we get our lines crossed is what I wanted to do before I had kids. I knew I wanted to travel, but when I was ready to settle down, I wanted kids. How many kids? I would be okay with 6 or more (I want a big family), but my husband and I are talking about 4. We'll see though and we'll be happy with however many God grants us!
2. Since becoming a mother, what is something that has happened that you never thought would?
I knew I would feel an immense amount of love for my little girl, but I never imagined just how much love I would fill. I look at her and my heart just soars. It is an amazing feeling. Also, I never knew I had such instincts. That I could look at her and know (most of the time) what she needs or how to handle the situation. I knew to expect the being peed on and being pooped on. That didn't come as a shocker at all. Haha
3. Is being a mother less difficult, more difficult or exactly how difficult you imagined?
I don't know if I ever truly imagined what motherhood would exactly entail. I don't want to say it's not difficult, it is, but being a mother is the most natural thing I've ever done.
4. What is your fondest memory of being a mother (so far)?
Fondest memory...That one's hard. There's nothing like holding your child for the first time. But then there's her first real smile, or any smile. And now she's cooing up a storm. I honestly love every moment with my little one. It's been truly a joy to have her in my life.
5. If your children only learn one life lesson from you, what do you hope it is?
The one thing I want my daughter to learn is how much God loves her. That He sent His only Son to die for her and that He wants her to have everlasting life with Him. It is so important to me that she knows this, anything else falls by the wayside as long as she learns how much He loves her.
