"Being a mother is an excitement and enticement and a growth. It is the possibilty that haunts and delights the young girl as she grows to womanhood. It is a part of the fantasy, both her longing for it and her fear of it. The months of pregnancy highlight all the richness of the remembered and internalized experience about mothering. The birth itself brings forth the baby, until now a fantasy, into reality. This real baby is a constant changing, crying, knowing being, and for me the delight of this experience has been one of the most important parts of my life as a women."

I'm 24. I'm a sahm and a wife. I love my family more than anything in this world. There is nothing better than hearing my daughter laugh and say  "OH Mama" while rolling on the floor giggling. I can't think of anything else I'd rather do with my life than make Hannah and my DH, Joe, happy.
