Today I was talking to a friend of mine who was inquiring about Evan. I made a confession to her. I have been amazed at the reality of having a child. It is like nothing I have ever done before. Before I had Evan I always would relate having a child to having a pet. Now, I know for some that might be a stretch but then you don't love animals the way I do!
I thought that for at least the first year he would be more of something I took care of than what I would nurture. I am finding that there is a huge difference in those two phrases. For one thing I can't believe at such a young age (16 weeks) Evan has such a personality. He has likes and dislikes. He lets me know what he wants and when he wants it. I just never imagined that he would all ready be such a person. That is when I found out that I need to nurture him and not just care for him.

It's a very inspiring thing to hear about a mother realizing her "motherhood."
Thank you for sharing, may future mothers learn from you!
Your child is quite beautiful
