it's official... i'm a mama.
i'm going to go ahead and admit that i was down right scared to be a mom.
sometimes i felt bad, wondering if i was missing that feminine gene that made me crave babies and children. i think i had that gene when i was 20 and taking sweet child development classes at byu. i also thought i knew everything back then too...
then, the longer i went, and the more used to a bit of a selfish and self indulgent lifestyle i became, the more it sounded like it was just going to be hard and began to scare me. it didn't help that any real life experience i had taught me more and more that i knew less and less...
i mean, i liked kiddos alright, but usually thought they were just fine in the family they were in, and wasn't quite sure what I was going to do with one that belonged to me...
everyone told me that it would be different with my own. that somehow i would just love them.
it isn't that i didn't believe you all-- but i don't think i was really going to get it until i heard that first pathetic little cry that rocked my heart. i can still hear that little cry in my head.
but i do love this little boy, yes i do.

I SO relate to what you said about that first cry touching your heart! My first was born after 27 hours of hard labor, but that first cry washed it all away and my heart melted... I still remember that cry... and that was almost 40 years ago! Feelings that strong are molded into your heart... You'll be a GREAT mother!! Love ya - Mom P.
