Welcome to my blog

I have decided to begin blogging. Who would have thought that me, someone who didn't even know what a blog was 6 months ago, would start her own blog! I sometimes offend people with my blunt attitude and inability to sugar-coat things, so please try not to take me too literally.

My world has changed so much in the past year. I have a beautiful daughter now. I am somebody's mother. That still catches me off-guard every now and then. Hannah has changed me.

I have to admit, I have always been a little selfish. I love attention, specifically being the center of attention. I am a bit of a ham. I love my own jokes. I laugh at my own jokes. I am the funniest person I know. Do you get where I am going with this? I tend to be a little self-absorbed.

Hannah has made my world feel so complete. I have loved many people in my life, but my needs were always the most important. Until she came into my life. Now don't misunderstand me. I love my Husband very much. But, I am a human and it is the tendency of humans to look out for themselves. To love themselves first. We are all this way. It is what has kept our species going.

I had never experienced the kind of love a Mother has for her child. An unconditional love that knows no bounds. That is, until I first gazed at my daughter. It is amazing. It is overpowering. It is a feeling I will never forget.

So I guess this first blog entry is a way for me to thank Hannah for making me into the type of person who can put other's needs before my own. Maybe my words are going to be misunderstood by some, but I don't mind. Every mother who reads this will understand completely.
