One of the points that i found quite beautiful was the overwhelming love that mothers feel towards their children. It cannot be described or even imagined by anyone who hasn't had a child. The other point that was conforting to read was that we also learn a lot from our children. Its not just a one way learning channel.

I have learnt so much from my little ones, even in only three years of being a mother. My Pablo hadn't even turned three months when I had already learnt to prioritise my life in a totally different way. I have an enormous responsiblity to protect and nurture this human being that i have created and although it is an enormous challenge, i have never been overwhelmed by it. Instead it fuels me has made me love life in a way that i had never realised was possible. I should probably also make a note that its not just mothers who feel like this, its also dads, perhaps not all, but I know that my beautiful husband feels the same way. We are both intoxicated by the love and the overwhelming happiness that our little boy and girl bring into our lives.
