To Mothers · Nov 26, 03:17 PM by Amanda
Over the past six months, I have become an Auntie, and five of my dearest friends have had a child or are in the process of becoming parents. The birth of my niece (while I was not an active participant) brought me more joy and appreciation of the human body than I have ever had. The change of a woman’s body and mind during pregnancy is humbling. Every woman I know that has become a mother, exhibits a level of patience that is beyond my understanding.
Final Note/Observation: During pregnancy, I swear there is an internal unspoken conversation happening between mother and unborn child. All of my friends (while sample size is not statistically ideal) without fail have “gone inside” themselves to a level that is almost incomprehensible and goes unnoticed by most.
