Mommyhood

M is for mommyhood, of course. I am a mommy and am so happy about that. No, really, I am. Those of you who have been around me for the past couple of months (maybe even the past eight) would probably disagree. My little brother, Patrick, told me I was "intense" yesterday at dinner as I was trying to control my unruly two year old. Intense. Yes, that sounds about right for yesterday. Anyway, I love mommyhood. I have grown up so much in the past two years and I feel like I'm starting to shed some of the feeling that I'm still sixteen. It's a pretty awesome feeling. Mommyhood suits me, I think. Nothing else had forced me to push myself in the right directions quite like it. Plus, Aidan is really such a joy. So smart, so funny, so sweet. He amazes me when I take the time to pay attention. I'm excited for Emily and for how she will make me evolve. Being a mommy is the best. There's nothing like it.
