This week I am trying a new thing! Mamakat makes a writer's workshop prompt every week which you can join and write about. There are 5 of these and the one I decided to write about is how has motherhood changed me!
I admit, the change had been happening prior to me being pregnant but it kind of went fast forward when that happened. Since than I see and yet not quite see the changes in me and possibly people who know me will argue about it to.
To start with I am a very nervous person and yet from the moment I knew I was pregnant I tried to practice patience. When Gregory was born, I was amazed at the amount of patience I managed to master and saw the many benefits that has reaped as well. Motherhood, made me more relaxed---I used to worry about my appearance, how people preceived me, if they'd like me ( I always had a low self esteem from a very young age), but motherhood changed all that. I do things that please me and that makes me and my family happy and I don't think twice about it. I am more accepting & more open hearted and basically life seems a much better place :)
Motherhood changed me in a lot of ways and I am thankful of these changes. My son, my little ray of sunshine, shows me everyday how I can be a better person and because of him and for him I do my best to change accordingly.
How had motherood changed you or envisage it will change you?

Funny how motherhood makes us more patient. I am very patient with my "kids" too. Here's a link to the post I wrote on this topic, probably not what you expect: http://zemeks.blogspot.com/2009/10/how-motherhood-changed-me-writers.html

One of my BFFs from high school commented on my scary mom post (come on over and see it). I replied that we never realized the level our problem-solving skills would used-LOL. Of couse, I don't think I ever realized all the things that go in a day, the bottomless love for my children and the levels of love, anger, and hope I have discovered.
Yep! I'll concur. I didn't have a clue! -

Amazing how motherhood changes so many aspects of our lives from the way we view the world to what really is most important. What a great post Mel! You always write so true and from the heart.

Visiting from Mama Kats...
I agree with you...it is amazing how motherhood changes you in these ways. You stop being so self-obsessed, get "out of yourself" and life becomes a much easier place to be. I mean, why worry about how you look when you spend 75% of your day on the floor of your living room or at the park? (At least, that is where I find myself!) Good for you! -

A baby changes everything doesn't it. -
