Being a mom is the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but, it is also the best thing I’ve ever done. No goal in my life is more important than raising my kids well. The biggest surprise to me about having kids was that you really have to get the hell over yourself and in that process you grow and mature in a way that I don’t think is possible if you skip motherhood. Being a parent is the hardest job you will ever love.

PixarPrincess628 is reflecting on the past.
I would love to have 4 children. 2 boys and 2 girls preferably. The thought of child birth scares me a lot, but I know I will someday have to courage to create life and start my family.
rvmc We love because it is the only true adventure.
that my fertility has been stuffed up by being on Depo Provera for 8 years. I want children one day – in late 20s, early 30s. I’m scared that it will be difficult or that I’ve become infertile from it.
I want to make babies, and be there to raise them. I will get married so this can happen
mamak947 is tired from chasing the kids around
i got pregnant in high school, which was definatley not my plan for my life. But my husband helped me through. My son was born on March 19 2007. and while i stayed at home for about a month healing and taking care of him i got my school work once a week. and i graduated!
then when my son was around 9 months old i got pregnant again with my now 9 month old daughter.
its been difficult having 2 kids that can now run around and cause mayhem, but im happy because they are my beautiful babies and i wouldnt give them up for the world.
