People have provided so many insightful responses so far – I’ll just add one other aspect. I wish I had known how having babies would actually help me reinvent and fall in love with myself. I used to waste so much time worrying about things that didn’t matter. Now I feel like I focus on things (little people) that bring so much humor and fun and ultimately meaning to my life. All the other silly things like worrying about what people think about me have slipped away. It was a hard transformation, but wow, if the old me could see me now, she’d be so proud of who I’ve become. Some days are really hard, but I end most feeling empowered. It brings a whole new peace that I can’t explain but am so grateful to experience. There’s something really beautiful about watching little people grow up that just puts so much in perspective.
