sari azout(@sariazout):I love being a mom. I’m not always great at it. Sometimes I don’t enjoy it and I was definitely never the mom to play Hot Wheels on the floor. I often get so caught up in my work and have a hard time focusing on what my kids are saying. I am obsessed with deep work and get very frustrated when a sick kid wrecks my plans. And the cost of my deep work is often more screen time for them than I’d like. But these annoyances pale in comparison to how incredible it is living and growing with the people I made with the help of my husband. HAVE KIDS.

Whenever someone tells me they're expecting their first baby and they're nervous, I tell them the following: 'Oh my goodness, that's wonderful. I am so happy for you. Listen, of course you're nervous but here's the deal: you're ready for all the bad stuff. You've been very tired before. You've been in pain before. You've been worried about money before. You've felt like an incapable moron before. So you'll be fine with the difficult parts! You're already a pro. What you're NOT ready for is the wonderful parts. NOTHING can prepare you for how amazing this will be. There is no practice for that. (via Rob Delaney, A Heart That Works)
