THINGS THAT MOMS DIDN’T KNOW
ABOUT BEING A MOM
UNTIL THEY
BECAME ONE
We asked 10 moms what they didn't know
about being a mom until they became one.
From developing a new appreciation for
coffee to re-discovering everyday gifts
often overlooked, here are some of their
responses …
LESSONS FROM THE NURSERY
I realized that moms are teachers,
diplomats, peacemakers, conflict
resolution specialists, counselors,
personal chefs, playmates, nurses,
and magicians.
– Sallie WalshOrlando, Fla.

I never knew a love like the one I feel for
my daughter every day could grow
stronger with each passing minute.
Before you have a child, you do not know
a love like this ... it's simply incredible.
– Timory BurlesonWoodinville, Wash.
”
“
Until I became a mother, I did not realize why
so many mothers I encountered looked so
frazzled until I started to also have to keep
constant tabs on my own child!
– Jolene SavkicOrlando, Fla.
”“
I did not fully realize the amount of work
and sacrifice that goes into being a mom.
Eight months in, I can say this is the most
amazing time of my life. Every day with her
is a gift.
– Renee HannaPompano Beach, Fla.

“
Until I was a mother, I didn't know
that I could actually survive on four
hours of sleep. Caffeine helps! We
surprisingly adapt and function
better than I expected.
– Nicole AndersonEl Paso, Texas
”
“
Those long endless days of
nursing and snuggling go by
faster than I'd thought possible.
– Kate LewisVirginia Beach, Va.
”“
Breastfeeding, lack of sleep, learning their
cries, figuring out their wants was
overwhelming (to say the least), but I
soon realized the strength and bravery I
had inside of me as a new mom.
– Ashley HinsonSt. Cloud, Fla.
”
“
It's trial and error and no one is the
perfect parent. So you need to remind
yourself that it's OK to make mistakes
as long as you learn from it, and you
know you're raising your child/children
to be the best person they can be.
– Jennifer BubonMillbury, Mass.
”
“
There are so many things I had
forgotten to notice or appreciate
until I had a child to teach me to
look at them again.
– Jennifer BoehmCoeur d'Alene, Idaho
”
“
Kids don't remember the things we
buy them when they are older;
instead it is the moments we spend
with them that are irreplaceable.
– Alisha EvansOviedo, Fla.
