P.S. A quote from His Boys Can Swim

I have a link to His Boys Can Swim in my blog list and I've referred to their journey before—see 10 Reasons I'm Glad We Don't Have Kids Right Now and also check out the comments from Tarzan... I love their blog because it's such an honest look at what it's like to discover you're pregnant and have a little newborn for the first time.

All this setup just to quote Jane from His Boys Can Swim:

I don’t feel like my “being a mom” expectations were delusional or far-fetched in any way. I feel like they were pretty realistic. I thought it would be tough. I knew I’d be sleep deprived. I knew that it would be a lot, but I just never knew it would be like this.

I thought this was an especially appropriate addendum to my last post called A Little More Conversation, A Little Less Action. Of course, I don't know from personal experience but I think this quote probably hits the mark for a lot of new moms. I don't doubt motherhood will feel really tough at times, and I'm prepared to take the good with the bad when we have kids someday.
