"Hi, Nathaniel's Mom!": A Collage Inspired By Motherhood

I’m still working my way through Claudine Hellmuth’s Composition for Collage class and I wanted to share my second piece with you.

While I was making this one, I was thinking a lot about my perception of motherhood before I had my son - the times when I was certain I would never want to be a mother, the times I considered being a mother, and when I was pregnant with Nathaniel - and the dark days during the first few months of his life. I was thinking about what it was like to be pregnant at 39 and a mom at 40. I was thinking about how much that having Nathaniel has given me and how much I have changed because of him. 

P.S. Nathaniel contributed the red crayon part on the top left. :)

P.S.S. Please see my footer…yeah…that one right there. We only have three days left to reach our goal. If you can help in any way that would be so awesome! xo
