A Much Needed Boost

Before Henry was born, there were a lot of situations that made me feel awkward and out of place. I spent a lot of time worrying about how others perceived me and wasted too many thoughts wishing I was more outgoing, better at making conversation, good at meeting new people, etc.

Since Henry's birth, it has become easier for me to be around groups that I once found intimidating. Becoming a mom has given my life a true purpose and that purpose has given me the beautiful confidence I have always envied in others. I don't want to be the mom who hides behind her kid so I am very conscious of that- it is very important to hold onto the things that make you, "you". I just see things a little differently than I used to. My priorities have really shifted.

Becoming a mom changes your perspective on everything. The second you hold your new baby for the first time, you realize what really matters in life. And you know what? It's not the clothes you choose to wear or how awesome you are at entertaining a crowd. All that is nothing compared to the fact that you are in charge of a brand new life. You have created a human being that adores you for you. How can that not boost your`confidence and diminish your insecurities?

Now where da party (and babysitters) at?!
