means that you will drag your tired sick body out of bed so you can hold the tired sick body of your baby. It means you will rub her back and comfort her even though you want some comfort yourself. You will hold off on some much needed rest just to make sure the Tylenol is bringing her fever down. It also means leaving your to-do list untouched so you can hold your baby on the couch for the better part of the day, because that's what she needs at the moment. Being a mom also has you sitting in the movie theatre with a splitting headache and upset stomach because you promised your oldest daughter that she could go to the movies during Christmas break, even though you would rather be in bed.
You do these things because, like all good mothers, you adopted a new motto on the day your first baby was born : Life just isn't about me anymore.
