Jounery from day 0 to day 1 by WonderBB

I spent nine and a half months in my mommy's tummy or "child palace" in my mommy's language. It was warm and dark. I didn't have to think and see, and food was always available. Whenever I felt alone and sad I would listen to my mommy's heart beat, the best smoothing music in the world. I always thought that I would stay in my palace forever.

Suddenly the thought of "going out and seeing the world" popped up from nowhere, then boom! I was outside my palace and was held by an alien in green. The world outside was cold, bright and
noisy. I saw a lot of aliens moving back and forth. What were those aliens? What were those noises? What was going on? I missed the darkness. I missed the heartbeat. "I want to go back to my palace" I cried but the alien in green refused to put me back in. I was angry and upset at myself. I screamed "Why go out?". Then the green alien put me into someone's arm. When she was holding me I could feel her heartbeat and I knew instantly that she was my mommy. I looked at her eyes and stopped crying. In the moment of quiet I realized I was no longer alone in this strange place. I knew my mommy will always be by my side, holding me and giving me a big smile just like her heartbeat. For her, I am willing to give up my nice and warm palace.

Jounery from size 0 to size XXX by Mommy

I have been telling people how to be a good parent throughout my career but I always wondered what it would be like to be a mother. When I turned 30 and was a newlywed, my friends asked me "are you ready to have a baby?", I said " No way! I would never give up my freedom for a baby!". Suddenly the thought of being a mother popped up from nowhere . I knew I was ready. I told my hubby " honey, I want to have a baby!" Then boom! I was pregnant. My body pumped from size XXS to XXL. I looked at the mirror and sighed "Why baby?".

The moment Julianna was born, I realized I was no longer my own VIP because my little replacement had just entered as a star of my stage. She is going to play a leading role in my life. When I was looking at her little "pork bun" face, I knew I was ready to give up everything just for her.
