This post is primarily for people who are on the other side, wondering if they should have a baby and if anyone is going to tell them the truth. So here it is, all out in the open. My experiences of becoming mom.
Deciding to take the plunge
I was never a baby person. I am one of those who politely smile at new parents and never (even now) offer to hold their babies. I thought there might be a day when little booties and baby babble will tug at my heart strings. Never happened.
We had a perfect life together. We felt complete. There was really nothing missing. The main reason I wanted to have a baby was to know what it felt like. I did not want to miss out on an adventure, even if irreversible. Besides I always wanted to have a daughter.
Pregnancy
I had a lovely 9-10 months. Vomit free. Largely pain free. Grotesque-weight gain free. The getting up to pee in the night part sucked though. You should know that 3 min pee break clearly trumps feeding, changing and putting a baby to sleep so enjoy it while it lasts.
