To My Friend Who "Can't Wait to Have Kids"




Dear friend,

I love how excited you are about wanting to have kids. I know that seeing my angelic being of a child is enough to make you think that upon having your first kid you will be in for sunshine, rainbows, and a lifetime of happiness. But believe me when I tell you, that once you have your first child, your life is going to change. Forever.

Right now you are living in a land long forgotten to many moms. A land of independence and freedom that you will NEVER again get to experience post-baby. Your heart may feel somewhat of a deep connection with your hubby, depending on the day. But you are about to enter dangerous territory. I'm talking metaphorically cutting your heart out and letting it grow and live outside of your body.
