the process of motherhood

Rachel wrote a beautiful post about becoming a mother:

My journey towards being a mother is shaping me and changing me. I think about things I'd never contemplated. I am aware of things I'd never noticed before. I see the world in a different light than I did before. I wish I'd known and understood that it is this journey that makes one a mother; it isn't just pregnancy.

Her insight made me want to write but I'm having trouble getting my thoughts together this evening. Maybe some other night.
