this is truly breastfeeding related, because this is what we have to teach
prenatally so moms have more true/realistic/normal expectations of what
they can do....  The gift moms give to their babies in time - and the
relationship they establish now will be what will keep them going "when
they are in the double digits and they are gone..."

A Mother's Prayer

Give me patience when little hands
    tug at me with ceaseless small demands.
Give me gentle words and smiling eyes,
    and keep my lips from hasty, sharp replies.
That when in years to come my house is still,
    beautiful memories its rooms may fill.
