Yes, I have changed. I was always motherly but now even more so. I've stopped doing many things I used to enjoy including spending hours alone in the coffee shop reading a book, or putting a puzzle together. I used to draw and binge watch anime. Sometimes I can still find time to do that.

My days now begin with sesame street and pureed banana. My nights end with Green Eggs and Ham instead of House of Night. My every thought is on that beautiful little face. I spend my days playing with him and watching in awe at his incredible learning capacity. In the words of Aerosmith "I don't want to miss a thing". So I may not do the things I once loved but I have found something I love to do more. I'm watching my heart grow.
