I have a good friend who had previously decided that she was not going to have kids and then found out that she was pregnant. To this friend I wanted to share some of the pros and cons of motherhood and if any of you have more to list please feel free to do so
Pro-the first time you get to hold you little baby
Con-when sleep deprivation kicks in and you lose you mind
Pro-seeing your big tough husband become a daddy
Con-2,3,4,5,6 am feedings. Get a lazy boy in that baby's room and get comfortable.
Pro-Their first smile (even if it is just gas)
Con-teething
Pro-when they finally say momma even though they have been saying dada for weeks
Con-Anytime they get sick. It's horrible to know that there is nothing that you can do but snuggle them.
Pro-When they learn to say "I wuv you!"
Con-When they learn the word "NO!"
Pro-first steps
Con-first skinned knees
Pro-finally not having to buy diapers
Con-potty training
Pro-when they become a big brother or sister
Con-protecting the new baby from their curious siblings
Pro-first day of school:D
Con-first day of school :(
I could go on and on, but I won't, just know Linds, that in the end the pros will always out weigh the cons.

I love this! As a new mom I'm slowly learning all of the those pros and cons, but no matter how many cons there may be, just one pro outweighs them all by far! Motherhood rocks!!
Kristen,
I somehow missed this entry on your blog. My sister called and told me I had to read it! THANK YOU! It made me a little misty eyed! I am SO HAPPY to be a mom! I would not trade it for anything in the world now. I have turned into such a softy and my husband is already well on his way from "tough guy" to daddy. When he found out he was going to have his "daddy's little girl" he couldn't help but cry! I LOVE IT! Parenthood has given us such a different (better)outlook on life and what is really important! You are so great for posting this!
Really? Why am I crying right now?? Pregnancy hormones....gotta love them.
