A few days back, GMA News TV was re-airing most of its motherhood related documentaries. One of which was a feature on how a mother gives birth. As we were watching,memories rushed in. I remember how it was for me during those days. It was almost ten years ago but everything is still fresh in my memory. I could still talk about all the details as if they just happened yesterday. I was awaken from my trip to memory lane when my son suddenly said, " Mahirap pala maging manganak,Mama, eh bakit gusto mo pa magkaanak pa ulit?...saka ganyan ka din ba nung nanganak ka sa akin?" I answered his questions with a smile. But as usual the kid was not contented with that. So I said, " Ang pagiging nanay ang pinakamasarap na parte ng buhay ko." In my mind, I began to enumerate why I love being a Mom, and these are what I was able to come up with.

| Jian and me, eight years ago |
I love Being a Mom Because:
- I was able to give back to my mother for all the hardship of bringing me to this world. And for me, it is a privilege given only to women because fathers won't know how it their moms feel while they were still in their womb.
- Motherhood brought out the best in me. Prior to giving birth, I don't think I can love someone unconditionally.
- I learn a lot as my kid grows because motherhood does not come with a user manual.
- My kid is a gift from God (and all kids are). I was a diagnosed with PCOS as early as I was in college and I never imagined being pregnant after six months of marriage.
- Together with my Hubby, I was able to be one with God by being a co-creator of another life.
- Just seeing the kid happy and healthy is more than enough happiness the mother's heart in me can ever contain.

ReplyDeleteWhat I love about being a mom is the fulfillment of hearing my daughter say "I love you" to me out of the blue. It simply wipes away all my fatigue from work.
I feel the same. I will always be proud to celebrate Mother's Day! :)

ReplyDeleteNothing beats being a mom! We're all lucky to be the mother of our children. Here's my MM entry: http://www.pensivethoughts.com/2012/05/mothers-day-2012.html
ReplyDeleteBefore I was a mom I was self-centered, and impatient at kids screaming or even just fussing in restaurants. That all changed when I became a mom. Whoa! whole new world, whole new me. I almost could not believe it. You're right about motherhood bringing out the best in women, at least us who are talking here.
ReplyDeleteNothing compares to the joy of being a mom :D
