“Motherhood and Identity:
Reconnecting with Who You Are”

Tuesday, September 23, 2008 9-10pm EST

I can’t think of any other time in my life when I had to face my whole self - my strengths, my flaws, my moods, my passions-or lack thereof, my own psychology, my beliefs, and my dreams - than when I became a mom. I knew who I was and what I was about the day I told my husband that we were pregnant. Motherhood felt real that day. Little did I know that being pregnant had very little to do with the real deal. The true reality and weight of the responsibility that I was someone’s mother washed over me the day I came home with my little girl swaddled in her receiving blanket. I looked around at my home and all of my things and everything seemed different.

How could the world be functioning like nothing amazing had just happened? I remember that it was Halloween and the children were laughing and running outside house-to-house trick-or-treating. It seemed so strange and odd that they would still allow Halloween to continue as usual when there I was, a mother. Everything had changed for me and yet the world was still going ’round.

I look forward to hearing about your own motherhood-identity-shift on Tuesday’s call! Details of how to register will be sent to all subscribers. Be sure to subscribe and receive your audio download of “Parenting Without Losing It!” as my gift.

I remember having feelings similar to those you describe above. My oldest was born September 1, 1987, so I’ve passed another milestone in motherhood: I have raised one to “grown” status. But I remember that year, on Mother’s Day it really “hit” me that I was REALLY a mother now, even though he was still squirming around inside me and not yet out here in the world with us.

Now, 21 years later, just 3 days shy of his birthday, he made me a grandma with the birth of his daughter. Two motherhood milestone in 3 days…whew.

Congratulations Suzanne! Now you get to have your baby fix without having to get up for nightly nursings The thing about being a grandma that scares me is not being able to put my parent coach hat on - maybe they’ll ask for my guidance once in awhile? Wow! The thought of my own baby having a baby - that’s weird.

What a great idea you have here! What an excellent way to use what you are good at and stay at home! I do remember having similar feelings! I wish I could have those moments again and again though! How special and what a gift from God!
