Default Name ONE true thing about parenting

The title sums it all. Your statement could be a bit of advice or just a general truth about the experience of parenting.

I believe this will be a fun and hopefully enlightening thread.

I'll go first: This is the most humbling role I've ever been assumed.

There is nothing more amazing than having those big brown (or blue, or green or black) look at you and smile.

You will do/say things that you told yourself you'd never do "when you have kids."

Every child is wonderfully and fearfully made. Must as I dislike the discomforts of pregnancy, those 9 months is the only time my baby is with me 24/7. Its a wonderful experience!

as a new mom, i know i'll experience and learn about parenting as days go by but so far, no matter how tired or exhausted i am at the end of the day - the rewards of just looking into their eyes is just priceless!
