A Cheerleader for Motherhood

I know as well as anyone that motherhood is simply NOT for everyone.  Heck, I was certain it wasn't for me until about 2 years ago.  But now that I have gone through the process, and know just how sweet life is with a baby, I want everyone to experience it. 
With a few exceptions, my friends are all still very single and in no real hurry to settle down.  I have friends with babies now (totally a must for new parents), and they are all fantastic friends as well as wonderful parents of smart, beautiful children.  But I can't help wishing my girlfriends would hurry up and fall in love, get married, and start popping out babies too.  I want to love and support them as they grow their families, just as they have supported the 3 of us.  I want to watch their bellies swell with life, and calm their fears about labor.  I want to see their lives enriched in ways they could never have imagined, babysit for a few hours so they can shower and nap, and watch their little miracles grow and discover the world.  Yes, I want more little friends for Henry.  He loves other kids, and it's always so much fun to watch him interacting with other little ones.  But more than that, I just want everyone to experience the pure magic that Henry has brought to our lives.  I love him so much, and it seems so greedy to hog all the joy of motherhood.
Yes, it's difficult, tiresome, messy, thankless, sleepless, noisy, smelly, exhausting work.  But the rewards are so priceless: a toothless smile, a giggle, a drooly kiss.  Pure, so-sweet-you-can't-help-but-cry, unending love both given and returned every second of the day.  What on earth could be better?  I'm sure I can't think of anything.
So come on, ladies!  Join me, won't you?
