When i found out i was pregnant back in June of 06 i thought my entire personality was going to change along with the life in general change. But it didn't! And it doesn't have to!  You just have to find time to let your non-baby-toting self come out. Let's face it , when you don't have your kid(s) with you, you tend to act a little more uninhibited.  More like how you were pre-baby.  Now i'm not saying everyone because i have met some people that act exactly the same when the kids aren't there. Babytalk, weird noises, constantly talking about their kid when other people are talking about adult things.  This is highly agitating to me because i am like, HELLO? where did YOU go? I feel like too many chicks get caught just being MOM. I LOVE being MOM but i also LOVE being Casso, which is who i have always been and has enabled me to be the cool MOM i am today.  I guess my point is: Don't forget that chick who made you the MOM you are today, she was there before and you'll need her when the babies have grown and moved on and become their own people.  And your kids need to know that you have a life outside of them as well, they need a strong woman to teach them that it's good to be yourself and you should always embrace it, even if you are a MOM!
