Being a Mom

I am a goal-driven person.  I have always known what I wanted and went after it.  Which is why I have always been a leader in school, in organizations, and even at work, to a certain extent.

When I was younger, I actually did not want to get married.  I thought about the many changes pregnancy will do to my body, the limitations I will have with activities, and the burden of raising a child.

But as I got older, and finally met the man I wanted to spend my life with, things changed.  We got married.  And had a baby.  Yes, I am now a Mom to an adorable 8-month old baby girl.  I am still working full-time, but ambitions of becoming the top honcho at work is no longer my priority.  I still give 100% at work.  But weekends and after-office hours are sacred.  It is spent purely with my hubby and daughter. 

Being a Mom is a wonderful, difficult journey.  Especially during the first three months.  But, trust me, it will get better and better.  

It is quite a thrill to see my baby with her developmental milestones.  I never thought seeing her first tooth appear will be so exciting.  But it was!  I called everyone about it and couldn't stop myself from squealing.

I am still adjusting to being a full-time Mom and a full-time career woman.  But I will never trade the feeling of being a Mom for anything in the world.
