I waited to start a family until the time was exactly right.
"I am ready." I was an idiot.
Other moms had it all together. "I love your outfit. It's so... deep Brooklyn
thrift store." While my husband worked double shifts-
"This is the first night you've been home in a month. Do you know how long that is in
baby time? It's like dog years!" -I tried going back to my job as a shoe model.
"I have ten other girls who didn't have babies, so don't take it personally!"
But life never works out the way that you planned.
(Bed squeaks. Baby screams.) Motherhood. It gets messy.
