I believe that when a woman becomes a mom she gains some kind of super powers. It's simply too hard to believe that they are all that good in multitasking, caring and selflessness without any kind of magic.

Lucy Knisley is a cartoonist and one of those magical moms. She draws adorable illustrations about her life as a mother to a 10-month old baby boy that she calls Pal (short for "Palindrome," because his birthday was a palindrome date). It's not the real name of the adorable one, but Lucy did not want to subject him to Internet name recognition.

Lucy explores various topics about how a child might affect your life - from sleepless nights to friends and fears.

Take a look at some of her comics and vote for your favorite ones.

    We are in that situation, and our 3 are pretty much that age. What you don't see is the hours and hours of practiced preparation to go anywhere. Even still, we have never looked like that. It makes it even more interesting with our two girls, Eternal Drama Princess, and the Wicked Queen.

    I can totally relate with the 4 am kick. One time I dreamt that I cannot breathe and I was asking a friend to take me to the hospital. When I came to it turns out my wiggly toddler is lying across my neck.Cosleeping may not be safe too for mommies.

    Pal Has Been Having Super Energetic Bedtimes Lately, Full Of Thrashing And Singing And Screeches And Kicks. It's Pretty Hard To Remain Calm And Soothing When Your Kid Is Acting Like A Hilarious Lunatic. Also It Takes Forever To Get Him Down, Which Cuts Into My Usual Sketchbook Time. Ah Well, Squeezed This One In After He Sang And Danced His Way To Sleep.

    The nurses gave my son a pacifier in the nicu, and now he's obsessed with it. Won't use the same type as back up, it has to be That One. I dread the day I finally lose it.
