Motherhood: Good for Your Soul.

OK, you guys asked for them...


So here they are: pictures of me and baby Jack-Jack, taken by my wonderful friend Bernadette.


warning: shameless plug ahead.
Bernadette did an awesome job portraying the relationship between me and my little boy...and her ideas, poses, and props were amazing. And she was so patient with my cheesy smiles and always-blinking eyes. Her full name and contact info can be provided upon request :).


This pregnancy has been a great experience. Of course I say this when my sides aren't aching, Jack isn't kicking me in the ribs, I'm not waddling to the restroom for the 10th time in two hours, and I'm not worried about all the baby fat I'll have to loose when he's finally out of me. But really, being able to carry my child has been an eye-opener.

For those of you who don't know, I am the last of six kids in my family...and all through my life I've been known as the "Baby Brat". Needless to say, I have some selfish tendencies. And now all of you mothers out there are chuckling at me, because you know what kind of rude awakening I'm in for. Selfishness doesn't show up anywhere in the Mommy Gene...especially when you have a newborn crying at 2 am needing to eat. What a great way to cure my vice (and disguise the tedious process in the form of children whom I can't help but love).

Just some very brief thoughts on motherhood that were floating in my head. This doesn't even begin to cover everything else I'm thinking...but most of you would rather not know. :)


All the Best.
