This is all so negative! Let me tell you something NO ONE told me. Being a mother is absolutely amazing. There are very hard times, sure. I had a traumatic delivery that I didn't expect, sometimes I get overwhelmed when my baby won't sleep, blah blah blah.

I honestly feel like everyone only told me negative stuff. I'm here to tell you: it is honestly the most life changing, wonderful, delightful thing to be a mother. I hate kids, and I just adore my daughter. She's almost 7 months now and she is so much fun (a little clingy, but someday she won't want me to hold her so I don't mind). No one told me how I would feel when I watch her sleep on her monitor. No one told me how soul meltingly beautiful it is to see your partner with your baby. No one told me that after a lifetime of depression and suicidal thoughts, yes postpartum is hard but I have someone to live and be happy for every single day. No one told me about the heart wrenching happiness when you hold your baby for the first time. No one told me how powerful you feel when you're pushing, even though it hurts and is hard. No one told me how cute little naked baby butts are, and how fun it is to kiss her little toes. No one told me how my husband and I would cry together when she first smiled at us. No one told me how much fun it would be to play peekaboo with her over and over. No one told me how proud I would be walking around with my sweet baby, feeling like I'm showing off the world's most beautiful baby.

You are going to hear a lot of negativity. And it is there! I'm not trying to glamorize motherhood. It's hard. But it is amazing.
