Tonight I watched a little bit of America's Next Top Model. I haven't seen much of this season and really know nothing of the remaining 3 girls. Yet, I was totally put off by one of the girls. The girls were supposed to be making a Covergirl commercial and were given the task of saying whatever they wanted while selling some product. This one particular girl started her commercial with "I had a baby 9 months ago, and I thought my life was over." My jaw dropped and my heart sank. How could someone think that after taking part in one of the greatest miracles. (Again, I don't know her story and hope that she meant something else.)
Sure life can be hard. Things change, sleep can be little, and now you have something that relies on you for everything. But motherhood still brings me more happiness that anything else. I feel as though my life really began the day Laney was born. I really hope that girl meant something else. But I am also glad I heard those words. I was having a bad day and feeling very inadequate in my many roles in life. This thought made me feel a little bit better about being a mom.

I haven't watched it yet so I don't know who you are talking about but I'm guessing its the blond. This was a strange year on ANTM - a lot of moms of young kids.
That is a sad statement and I can't imagine feeling that way. Maybe it's different if you aren't married and aren't planning to have kids. I would hope once the baby is there you would quickly get over that feeling.
Sorry you were having a hard day - I love you and can't wait for you to get here.
I guess when you're not doing what you are suppoesed to be doing, and you're not ready to be a mom it would maybe feel that way. It seems if you felt that way though you should give the baby up for adoption. Motherhood can be hard that's for sure, but it's not life over, definately start of a new life though. You're the best Mand, watch out for those pregnancy hormones, they can be the worst! When are you coming? I want to start digital scrapbooking and I need major help!
