Thank you to all the wonderful, inspiring ladies out there who commented on the last post. Your words of encouragement and wisdom have done more for me than you will ever know. I'm still pretty scared, but I'll get through.

Katie....first time motherhood is one scary event. But the thrill of holding your child for the first time will wipe all bad memories of the previous hours from your mind. I don't know if it's hormonal based or not, but the ecstasy of that little baby will wipe all pain, embarrassment and agony from your mind. Uncle Steve thought I was totally bonkers when after delivering Missy, I said "that wasn't too bad...maybe we should have another one?" and that wasn't drug induced either. I was scared all through the pregnancy and never sure if being a mother was the right thing for me. After delivery, I discovered it was for me, has proven to Melissa three times over that having kids is a great thing, and I know you'll be awesome as a mommy. Hang in there kiddo, the hormones raging through your body right now can be nasty things. Enjoy your life as it is and be prepared for what should truly be the beginning of the best times of your life....Love Aunt Mary Jo
I agree Kate. There are days where I think I shouldn't be a mom. So I shut myself in a room and realize that I miss those monsters outside my door :) If you need to talk, feel free to give me a shout. I don't hide the fact that I didn't enjoy pregnancy all that much - and I didn't have that first look connection with the boys. But I can say that my world would be incomplete without those two little men. And please - those birthing videos - I started crying IN the class! It's nothing like that. Promise :)
Hang in there Kate! It's obvious that there are so many people who care about you and will help you at a moment's notice!!
