My views of the term Mother have changed drastically from the moment Isabelle was born. Before then I only had experience from what I had seen of others and the bond beween myself and my mum. I knew that my mum loved me unconditionaly, that was very clear to see but I did not know the extent of that love. When Isabelle arrived I knew that I would do anything for her, she is MY daughter. It is a completely different type of love, so overwhelming and uncontrolable.
It means that now when I hear my baby cry I have the instant urge to nurse her and care for her.
It means that no matter how hard my day has been with her, I still cannot wait for the next day as I kiss her goodnight.
It means endless sleepness nights but still not being able to control the need to smile when she looks at you at 3am.
It means my eart melts every time I hear her saw mama in her sweet little voice
It means that I will do anything to protect her
I am a mother and I would not change a thing
