Having been a mother for (a mere) five and a half years, I've discovered that there are a few "secrets" that were kept hidden from me. Things other mothers knew about, but didn't warn me about. Some are hilarious, some are astounding, others heartbreaking. I'm posting just a few here and hope that you will share your's too! (FYI, it is research for a book) So pipe in and share the secrets you have learned about motherhood!!!1. I had heard that my hair would change while pregnant, but I did not know it would be a permanent change. Mine is a full two shades darker than it was prior to having kids (
and I secretly love it this way!). And curlier. Well, "curlier" is really too nice of a description, "frizzier" is more accurate.

3. I did not know I would have it within me to want to smack another child just because he hurt my child's feelings. (I didn't do it, btw! But seriously wanted to) :)
4. You know how all your "issues" came up when you were planning your wedding? You know, the ones buried deep down inside from your childhood? Just when you thought you were done with those, you have a baby and Lordy, do they come back bigger than ever!5. Trusting yourself with your child is the hardest thing you will ever do. Until you have to trust someone else with your child.
6. The best words you will ever hear are "Mommy! Mommy!" But on some days, those are the words you that drive you to the brink!
What secrets have you learned?
