Debunking the mom guilt myth

Whenever someone asks me what it's like to be a fairly new mom, I'm always at a loss for words. Because really, how can you summarize the infinite number of hours that you spend bonding with this new human being with just a few words? The truth is, you can't.

To bond with a 21 month old means that there is more life to your seconds, to your minutes, and to your hours because they're moving at hyperspeed, so curious with a desire to soak up the world. Most of the time, I feel like I couldn't keep up and even though my office is merely a few steps from where he is, I feel like I am missing out on something important when I close my door to attend to work.
