Once Busty

Months ago when I started thinking about this blog, I couldn't figure out what to call it. My husband and I would lay in bed at night and think and think. We had been through what seemed like hundreds of ideas, but to no avail. One night it was very very late and we were still trying to think of something.
Now, when my husband gets tired, he gets funny. The more tired, the funnier. On this night he was really tired. He rolled over and with a serious face said, "I got it". I looked at him, so eager to hear his idea. He then said, "call your blog Once Busty. It took a minute to process and then we both began to laugh hysterically. We joked about how before children I had a chest, a great chest, if my husband does say so himself. Then with each child, with each late night feeding, my chest quickly dissapeared. Over the years my husband and I have joked about how our children have altered my physical apperance.

So are the sacrifices of being a mother. Children change us, all of us. They change us spiritually, mentally, physically and emotionally.

Our children are worth every bit of sacrifice. They have given me much more than I have lost. Nevertheless, we still joke that one day modern medicine can give me back what I once had.

What have you lost or gained since having children?

P.S. Please don't let this deter anyone from having children.
