Hi Hive account@laurabanfield, This is my very first post on any of your posts. You've put your emotions in this piece of writing nicely. This passage depicts the true feelings of a mom:

Becoming a mom is one of the biggest new beginnings I have ever experienced. After 9 months of being pregnant and 23 hours of labor, I met my daughter Madeleine and knew my life would never be the same ever again. It was as if someone had carved out my heart and it was now out in the world. All I wanted to do was hold her forever.

We all are different and unique human beings. So, there is no comparison at all. The best thing is you know who you are and the people around you. This helps treating them accordingly and giving them the space they want.

Law school terrified me. Put a quiet, introverted person like me, a person who hates being wrong or not knowing an answer, in a classroom where they will be randomly called on and thoroughly questioned (the Socratic method is brutal)...

I've experienced this myself and it still saddens me when I think of my class mates getting going through such a situation. I was a very good student but the memories of other class room for this outdated socratic Methodology still saddens me. I myself am an introvert. I guess your personality is INFJ, right?

Your husband Hive account@jerrybanfield is a superstar and guru here at Steemit. Like thousands of other Steemians he's the one who brought me to this platform through one of his YouTube videos. So, that makes you little more special for us all.

I hope you start posting more often.

Keep sharing, caring and inspiring the world. The world badly needs the positive energy as there is so much negativity in it already. I hope you can play your part. Wishing you best of luck. Stay awesome. You got my unconditional support.

Steem On.
