I am pregnant with my third child, the father is very manipulative and his ex is constantly harrassing me. I am thinking of an abortion. I am desperatly looking for someone or somthing to tip the scale on my decision. Your post makes me remember the greatness of motherhood. But can I do it alone again? thanks for the encouragment.

I have had the same aspirations. In fact, my blog post today was about remembering the "writer" part. But Mother was always at the top of the list. I sure have those 6am days after 10 sleep interruptions where I certainly question my choice of career. Thanks for helping me not feel so alone. Great post Jordan. I have had the same aspirations.

I love it. Because I know I've felt that way. Even today when i had to put Gwen down under her baby gym for 1/2 an hour bc I was just so exhausted... and I just listened to her whining in there because she wanted to play with me... it just makes you feel like you aren't cut out for it. I am grateful for the reminder that the only qualification needed, really, is love. THanks. wow, Jordan, this might be the shortest, most profound post I’ve read on your site yet. I love it.

Because, you are right. I was meant to be a mother. I have lots of days where I wonder why the heck I got into this business(the mothering business) and I really appreciate your words.

I had the same aspirations. I did write down a third, though--high school English teacher--because I thought it might bring in more money than the other two. I've got the first two jobs, and even with the rough patches, I'm happy with them. No need for the third. This is beautiful–thanks!

Loved what you said about struggling with children all day only to miss them the minute they're asleep. That happens to me so often and I always wonder at it. Sweet sleeping kids must be God's way of taking an eraser to my crazy day so I can face another. I love being a mother! Great post!
