It's amazing how life ebbs and flows - SO many people in my life are having babies right now. It's quite shocking, actually. My husband and I *may* have utterd the word "epidemic" :) Although we've never felt that calling in life, we both love kids (I would hope so, considering I work with kids every day) and are perfectly content to be in that aunt & uncle / helpful neighbor role.
Watching some good friends go through this phase is both beautiful and difficult to watch. It's clearly exhaustive and so much hard work - and such a life altering experience for independent friends who have full lives and careers - but it is beautiful to see how much love fills their hearts. No question, this is the toughest and most important job on the planet.
So to all you Mom's out there - thank you for the tireless giving of yourself every second of every day to nurture your little soul(s). No question you are at the top of my hero list!
