“The most magical day of my life was the day I became a mother.”

I think a lot of moms resonate with this quote. Becoming a mother is such a wonderful experience. No matter how awful the pregnancy was, or what complications there were during the birth, you will always hear a mom say she is grateful she did it because her child was worth all of it. 

“I am proud of many things in life but nothing beats being a mother.”

Being a mom is a truly amazing accomplishment. It’s hard work, and it’s constantly changing. It takes a lot of growing and learning, and you make mistakes all the time. But the harder you work for something, the prouder you feel when you’re doing it. And that is completely true for motherhood. 

“There are hard days in motherhood.  But looking at your sleeping baby reminds you why it’s all worth it.” -Kara Ferwer

“There’s no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one.” – Jill Churchill

This is such an amazing quote because it’s just so true. It is physically impossible to be a perfect mother because there’s no such thing as a perfect person. But that doesn’t mean that you aren’t a great one. All of the selfless acts you do every day to make sure your child is fed, clothed, and loved are what makes you a great mom. 

“Be patient with yourself.  You and your baby are both learning new things each day.”

A mom is learning just as much as a baby. As the baby is growing and learning to be a fully functional human being, the mom is learning how to be a mom. Neither of you will ever stop learning.

“There will never be a day like the day your baby was born.”

The day you have your baby will forever be engrained into your memory. It’s one of the only days in your life where you will go through every human emotion. From fear to joy, you experience it all within a short period of time, possibly even at the same time. 

“A new baby is like the beginning of all things – wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities.” – Eda Leshan 

One of the most amazing things you often think about after you have a baby is the realization that the baby is going to grow up and become their own person. There’s no way of knowing what they’re going to be, who they’re going to love, what their interests will be, etc. 

“A baby arrives and just like that everything changes.  The world gets bigger, hearts grow fuller and life means more because she’s in it.”

There’s no other feeling in the world like that of being a mother. Your priorities, values, interests, and everything else change. You view the world differently, you make different choices, and you basically become a new person.

“Nothing else will ever make you as happy, as sad, as tired, or as proud as motherhood.” – Elia Parssons

Motherhood is full of emotion. Every second of every day is full of emotion. Having a child is like taking out your heart and letting it walk around outside of your body, where you can’t protect it from everything. And that brings a lot of feelings! 

“You never appreciate all of the things your mother did for you until you find yourself doing the same things for your kids.”

It’s a strange feeling to grow up and have your own children and think back to what it was like for you as a child. You realize you probably weren’t grateful enough, respectful enough, or appreciative enough of everything your mom did for you because now you are viewing the world from her perspective. 

“A baby is something you carry inside you for nine months, in your arms for three years, and in your heart till the day you die.”

The connection between a mother and a child is unlike anything else. It’s unbreakable, and it lives inside you forever. No matter how old they get, no matter how old you get. 

“There’s something that just happens to you when you have a baby and you look at their little eyes for the first time when you’re holding them.  They’ve been safe inside your belly for almost 10 months, and now they’re in your arms.  Intuition kicks in, where you will do anything for them and you have all the tools inside of you to take care of them.”

When you’re expecting a baby, there will likely be times when you get worried that you won’t know what to do, or you will mess something up. But after that baby comes your mindset shifts because instinct kicks in. It’s like you were born to be a mom and you know what you’re doing. That’s not to say you won’t make mistakes, because you will. But you will always feel like your baby was meant to be yours and you are the only person for the job. 

“Becoming a mother makes you realize you can do almost anything one-handed.”

Motherhood brings on a lot of new skills, such as multi-tasking. Both physically and mentally! A mom can be doing a million things at once, AND be thinking about a million different things at the same time. It’s a really amazing skill that you just develop shortly into motherhood, and get better and better at it as time goes on. 

“A sleeping baby is the new ‘happy hour’.”

Well if this isn’t the truth. Nothing is more satisfying than getting your baby to sleep. Although, it can be a struggle trying to decide what to do with your time! You often find yourself tied between relaxing or doing things you need to get done that you know will be easier when the baby is asleep. 

“The moment a child is born, the mother is also born.  She never existed before.  The woman existed but the mother, never.  A mother is something absolutely new.”

This is such a beautiful quote. There is no way to prepare for motherhood, it’s a new venture for everyone. It doesn’t matter if you’ve had young siblings, babysat, had pets, etc. It’s not the same as having a child of your own. And you learn and grow in motherhood each and every day.
