I have compiled some beautiful quotes to affirm and encourage all of us as moms/moms-to-be.
A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie.
~Tenneva Jordan
Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs in my field, since the payment is pure love.
~Mildred B. Vermont
A suburban mother's role is to deliver children obstetrically once, and by car forever after.
~Peter De Vries
When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child.
~Sophia Loren, Women and Beauty
Mothers are fonder than fathers of their children because they are more certain they are their own.
~Aristotle
Grown don't mean nothing to a mother. A child is a child. They get bigger, older, but grown? What's that suppose to mean? In my heart it don't mean a thing.
~Toni Morrison, Beloved, 1987
A man's work is from sun to sun, but a mother's work is never done.
~Author Unknown
There is only one pretty child in the world. And every mother has it.
Take heart that no matter how tired or frustrated we may be, or that some days our husbands and kids don't seem to appreciate us, or when circumstances aren't always smooth-sailing, or when chores/deadlines/laundry/cooking are just endless, your home and family wouldn't be the same if not for YOU. When our kids think of home cooking, it'll be our cooking (Ha!) .When our kids think of comfort, we are the source of it. When it comes to home doctor/teacher/driver/counselor/friend/seamstress/career woman/magician/etc.. rolled into one, guess who tops the list?
Say it Loud, Say it Proud....

Re Gal and laifchan: I read the quote again and I realize I dunno what got into me!!! I read "Mothers are fonder than fathers of their children.." ok, can put it up---- without dwelling on the implication of the 2nd part.. HAHA! That's what happens when putting up a post in the middle of the night with one eye closed (literally)...
