I didn't know how clients and deadlines would seem so much less important than on-demand nursing and diaper-changing.
I didn't know what it was like to have a non-stop, 'round-the-clock job.
I didn't know how messy my house could become or how I wouldn't mind.
I didn't know how intimate I would become with poop, and pee, and spit-up, and throw-up.
I didn't know how quickly mountains of dirty laundry and dishes could grow.
I didn't know what patience was and how to conjure it in the most difficult moments.
I didn't know how challenging, exhausting, frustrating, and draining mothering could be.
I didn't know how exhilarating, rewarding, invigorating, and uplifting mothering could be.
I didn't know how deep a mother's love could go.
I didn't know how transformative mothering is, how it leads us to discover new wisdom and strength.
I didn't know how important it would be to honor and protect birth, ensuring that we mothers are the ones in control of how our babies are born.
I didn't know how powerful mothering is, how amazing it is to grow, birth, feed, and nurture our babies with our own bodies.
I didn't know how powerful our home is, how productive it can be in sustaining our family.
I didn't know how much I would love it.
I didn't know much.
