Whether "motherhood" pertains to step or bio - how has it changed you? I know being a step has changed me drastically. In general, I have had to grow up quite a bit and am far more aware of *everything* in life but especially my own actions. I have also learned to take control of my life and to eliminate those that aren't a positive contribution. DH is scheduled to have a reversal in December. We have several fun trips planned in early 2011 that I'm not sure I want to go on pregnant. Ok, I don't really want to go on them sober so we will wait to try to have a baby until after that. But, it's still not far away and it has me wondering how I will change if I become a mother? DH thinks I won't be so uptight and may lose my Nervous Nelly complex. I'm afraid it will increase!!

What about you?
