There's something really magical about having a child - it's like permission to begin again, start over, reevaluate some things, check yourself. Recognize yourself.

There's something really magical about having a child - it's like permission to begin again, start over, reevaluate some things, check yourself. Recognize yourself. And that's kind of what happened with me - I realized, in a few places, I was going down the wrong path.
When you have a child, your previous life seems like someone else's. It's like living in a house and suddenly finding a room you didn't know was there, full of treasure and light.
Being pregnant was a lot like being a child again. There was always someone telling you what to do.
I've been wanting to have a baby since I was 2 years old - I'm destined to be a mother.
The moment you have a child, in an instant your life is not for you, and your life is completely, 100 percent dedicated to another human being, and they will always come first. It changes you forever. It changes your perspective, and it gives you a nice purpose and focus.
If you bring a child into this world, whether it's planned or an accident, you'd better make sure you can care for it. You have to be around. You make time. It's as simple as that.
No one understands the shift in priorities about having a child in your life... until you have a child in your life.
Having children is life-changing, to state the obvious. It's a gigantic shift in your life and I welcomed it.
There is no real way to prepare yourself for having a child other than just getting thrown in the deep end pretty quick.
Having a child is sowing the seeds of your own obsolescence: birth is the fuse that leads to that other thing. You appear, you replace yourself, you die.
