If only our babies could ever know the sacrifices we make to bring them into the world.  Maybe our daughters will one day understand.  But our sons I think can never know and never understand.  We give up our bodies, we give up our comfort, we give up our peace of mind.  Those first nine months as we carry them are only the very beginning.  We are never again just our own.  As we give birth to the tiny humans we grow we give them a piece of us.  Not just our hearts.  All of us.  And it will never be our own again.  So why do we do it.  Why do we put ourselves through nine months of anxious worry and years to come of joys, sorrows, triumphs and pain?  Because it is what we do.  Us woman, we are life bringers.  It is our sacred duty.  We do it for all of the highs knowing we will travel through many lows.  Bringing a baby into the world is the most selfless act in nature.  Some might argue losing your life would come first on the scale.  But by giving a life your own belongs to someone else.  Your whole existence is shared. Look at this absolutely perfectly beautiful baby boy.  What a miracle he is.  What a gift.  Was he worth nine months of discomfort?  Is there even any question?  Women, mothers, are just the most amazing super heroes I know!
