Maternal feelings have to come from a higher place? If we were all reasonable women, we probably wouldn't enter into motherhood and procreation would end! I choose to believe the blame lies with our Heavenly Father (God). Reason would have you thinking 9 months of sickness and uncontrollable hormones to gain one eating, pooing and weeping gold medallist wouldn’t sound that appealing! That doesn’t seem to be the case with us unreasonably maternal women. We have one baby and feel life would be better by adding our own vomit, insomnia, hormones and all sorts of sickness and uncomfortable fatness to be blessed with another mess machine. If you think about it we or some of us LOVE these strange creatures beyond reason, beyond our own HEALTH and SANITY!
LUCKY for the imbedded maternal feelings my Heavenly Father has blessed me with or I would not have known of the pure happiness that can be experienced daily through raising children. So thank you Heavenly Father for CLUCKYNESS because without it, due mainly to the 9 months of torture I would undoubtedly not be on my way to a second. And as much as I want to CURSE pregnancy, I’m sure I will remain to put myself through it.
Although right now I will continue to lie awake, a baffled insomniac mess suffering from the wiles of another pregnancy and repeat to myself ‘nothing good comes easy’.
