Being a woman

Having the ability to carry a baby for nine months---Awesome

HAVING to carry a baby for nine month---Not always so awesome

Feeling your baby kick for the first time---Awesome

Feeling your baby kick ALL the time---Not so awesome

The maricale of birth---Awesome

The pain of birth---Not so awesome

Being a mom---Awesome

Being the mom---Not always so awesome

So, is this ability God gave US (women) a gift or a curse? 99% of the time, I'd tell you its the best gift he/she gave us. And it was given to US because we could handle it, unlike those other creatures. But then there are days when I think, WHY me. Why does my body have to be the one to betray me. Why do I have to suffer 8 days a month so that my husband can enjoy our furure children. Why doesn't he HAVE to do any of the work?! And I do my best to remind myself that the power is ours because we can do it. And in the end it will be worth it. Because some day we will wake up and look into those eyes and say, oh I get it now.
