What was the biggest shock?
-
How it destroyed my health through constant colds and fevers.

that I love being a mom as much as I do.
I was never a "baby person". I didn't love babies. Never babysat infants or toddlers. Never changed a diaper. Didn't like holding babies, going to baby showers, etc.
I've been with DH for 13 years. Married for 2. We always talked about having just one and now I'm thinking, maybe one more? Ah, we'll see, but I'd love love love to. I love being a mom so much.

So far it definitely has been what I expected because I was a FT nanny of a newborn-4yrs! Biggest shock was how OVERWHELMING your love for your children is. It's really crazy. I thought I knew what it would be like, but man, nothing prepares you for it. (Sorry DH! Lol)

@sorrycharlie: I second this. Definitely overwhelming. I'm also surprised by how well I function on limited, broken sleep.
