It definitely comes, no question about it, but it wasn't instant for me either. Here from Petroville - congrats on your perfect post!

When I think about the paradoxical nature of motherhood, I’m always reminded of that old Army recruitment commercial where the slogan is “The hardest job you’ll ever love” It’s so true…

My stat counter has a cramp today from all the activity. Great post and really so true.

Almost makes me want to have another child. Enjoy these moments while you can because the older they get, the more you really do wish you could send them back! That was beautiful.

And then as new mothers ourselves we continue to perpetrate the myth that parenting is difficult, but not impossible. I suppose we want everyone to join our club and not be scared off. Such a beautiful post.
