It's almost unbelievable how much my world changed by having a child. Indeed the center of the universe shifted and I became a satellite instead of the center piece.

And it's still weird for me because I didn't even know I could feel so much love. I don't actually understand it because especially in the beginning a baby doesn't really do anything positive for you except for totally depending on you and looking cute. Besides that extreme sleep deprivation (she had a lot of tummy aches as baby), torture by loud crying all day long, causing lots of worries, no more time for friends and also costing quite a lot of money.

I don't mean this in a negative way. I just mean without this sudden feeling of total unconditional love babies probably wouldn't survive. She's 4 years now and it's still a struggle but I love her to bits and would still give everything. The game has changed though and now she tells me what she wants while I know that not everything she wants is good for her and sometimes I have to force her to do things she absolutely doesn't want for her own good...
