Ah well. Pregnancy only lasts nine months. It ends, thank goodness.

I am not a baby/children person either, and while I have always endeavored to be kind to children, I was never one of those people who fawn over babies or bounce over to pregnant women and congratulate them, etc.

Then I had my own and discovered that I really didn't know anything at all... about just about anything important. :)

And I do love my own child, and think she's the most adorable child ever. So one of my biggest mistakes was expecting to have a maternal instinct for someone else's child...!
