Reflections of Motherhood

liz3may Says:

Sep 7, 2011 - Lovely video. My husband and I recently adopted an amazing baby girl, and I find myself wondering how the video from the adoptive parent perspective would be similar and different. It's a totally different kind of "labor," but equally frightening and awesome. What would I have told myself? "You thought adoption was Plan B, but when you meet her, you'll know how incredibly wrong you were."

Sep 12, 2011 - I remember saying: my family has been doing this thing (having children) for many generations. Light-hearted response, but still pertinent.

Sep 16, 2011 - except for single dads like me who watch the mom leave for some other dude and I have to go to work and be the mom and the dad.

Oct 23, 2011 - I noticed a few of the signs make their a's differently than the others... maybe they just asked people to print really big and clearly? or maybe a couple people were just responsible for making the big signs with the other's written down answer on it... I think it is authentic.

Jan 3, 2012 - Interesting vid. I note there is a very specific demographic... and all of the cards are written in the same hand-writing/printing. Despite that stuff, it's pretty cool, for sure.

Jan 6, 2012 - My first child, a 4 month old baby girl, has a cold. At 4 a.m. last night, she woke up crying and could barely feed from the congestion in her nose. I did everything in my power to do...and then "sat up all night, just watching her breathe." I came across this video just this morning after feeling tired and not understood by my husband, and just BAWLED. Thank you so, so much for making this video, because "Google doesn't have children."

Jan 13, 2012 - Lovely video. Mothers are so dang important. If you want to give a little gift to your mom and help spread the word about the very real danger so many mothers around the world face in pregnancy and childbirth, check out the "Prayers for Our Mothers" project on my channel.Everyone who loves their mom and believes that all women should have the opportunity to experience the joys of the motherhood should make one of these "Prayer" videos!

Jan 14, 2012 - I've almost reached the halfway point in my first pregnancy. I still can't believe sometimes that those little jabs i feel throughout the day is a little life growing inside of me. it's exciting and scary at the same time. Sometimes I feel like I'm going to burst with all the love I already have for this baby, it makes me cry :')

Jan 15, 2012 - Wow...so poignant, beautiful and yet such important and simple reminders - I am not a mother yet, but hope to experience this event for myself one day soon, that all these fabulous mothers have already. Despite this fact, I thank you all for such a moving tribute - messages that I think we could all apply to life, everyday, in striving to be the best person we can be, and succeeding and surviving all those more challenging moments, whatever they may be. Thank you x

Jan 19, 2012 - I Noticed That All Negative Comments Are Removed Was Just Wondering If Everyone Here Believes In Censorship? Because Thats what it Is Just Puting that Out there

Feb 1, 2012 - I'd tell myself that I can do it, that WE could do it and we would face great struggles and triumphs with our first baby but that we would succeed despite the fear heartache and worry.We were 21 w/our first & he has Down Syndrome, was premature, needed open heart surgery at 10w old and had life threatening complications 3w later that left him on life suppor in the ICU for 3 months. Now, he's 3 1/2, slowly catching up and is HEALTHY. We both succeeded and our marriage is stronger for it.

tierter Says:

Feb 2, 2012 - I'd tell myself to take time to date my husband. Those first 3 months f my children's lives were the longest and most demanding months of my life. Chasing around children can make you forget to be in love with your partner everyday. I don't know what I would have done without the support and help from my hubby.
