I got a message again from one of the writers of Smart Parenting online who is currently gathering replies for an article that she's working on. The topic of the article is 'How your life changed when you had a baby.' Here is my answer:
Hi Mommy Jazz,
Thank you for giving me the privilege to share my experience in having a baby. Here's my response to that:
Before I had Zoe, I was probably one of the most selfish and self-centered people in the world, only concerned with make up and shopping. I also used to think that kids and babies disliked me because I never really knew how to play with them. When I gave birth to Zoe, everything was suddenly about her. My usual make up and clothes cart are now filled with Baby Gap and other baby stuff. I also got surprised on how innate it was for me to play and entertain Zoe! I never thought I would enjoy playing peekaboo for an hour straight or get LSS with the Backyardigans theme song. I love that Zoe and I teach each other things; I teach her to be a loving and polite girl while she teaches me to be a good and patient mom. My life has always been fun and colorful but it's now made perfect with Zoe. I completely devote myself to raising her in the best way I can.

Whether this gets included in the final article to be published or not, I'm still thankful to be have been chosen (for the 2nd time) to contribute to the article. Hopefully in the future, I'd be invited naman to send in a full article :P
