Knocked Up Celebs

I am more excited than ever to watch Giada now that I know she is a mother. It is so hard to “leave” your baby and go back to work. But I feel you have to live our life for yourself in order to live your life for your baby in order to show the correct example to the child. As soon as you establish a routine the easier it will be. There was nothing that ripped at the fiber of my every being than to go back to work after each of my two boys were born. On the other hand, staying home all day was also extremely hard work and very humbling. Neither is ideal in terms of self-fulfillment and balance. After being home with my child for 2 months I returned to work. Going out for lunch with other adults that first day back was a total luxury. The upside was that taking home a significant paycheck gave me a huge sense of self worth and security. On the downside, I felt that having someone else tend to my baby during the day went against every natural tendency I had in my body as a mother. It’s a lose/lose for the mom. But in my case my babies were fine because they had their basic needs met both physically and emotionally. I think it’s so much harder on the moms than on the children or the dads. We feel that we are the ones who need to make everything right for everyone. It’s a huge burden. Being a woman is a huge responsiblity. In the end we are often the ones who end up with love exponential to the love that we put into our families. There is a huge payoff but it takes time and faith. There is no amount of money that can equal that. God Bless All Mothers Out There!!! Sisters, Mothers, Daughters, Grandauthers, Nieces, Aunts, Girlfriends.
