As we close out 2009, I am reposting blogs from the past year. This post originally appeared on May28, 2009.
I distinctly remember the moment I realized the enormity of becoming a mother. I was well into my first pregnancy, and I was sitting at the dinner table with my mom. All of a sudden it hit me that my name would be Mom, not Sally. Someone is going to call me Mom. Wow. Mom laughed at me as if to say, “Duh!”
How ironic that Jumpshot spent the first two years of his life calling me Sally. He would stand at the top of the stairs in our townhouse and yell out, “Saaalllyyyy, where are youuuuu!”
When did the realization of motherhood hit you?
