Pregnancy vs. Motherhood

A few things I have noticed that are different between pregnancy and Motherhood…  

During pregnancy you are delighted with your growing belly.

During motherhood you are horrified with your growing ass.

Pregnancy means breasts the shape of cantaloupes.

Motherhood means breasts the shape of sun dried tomatoes.

 __________

Pregnancy means thinking your baby will be an angel.

Motherhood means hoping your child is not the devil.

 __________

During pregnancy you lovingly fold and wash the babies clothes until everything is perfect.

Motherhood is grabbing the least dirty of the clothes out of the Mt. Everest of a laundry hamper and deciding it’s good enough.

 ________

Pregnancy means thinking of your husband as a hero for making love to you and putting a life inside of you.

Motherhood means not letting that hero touch you for fear he will put another life inside of you.

Pregnancy is hoping you are a good Mom.

Motherhood is knowing you are (at least that’s what Therapist Richard tells me).
