Motherhood is absolutely amazing. I taught infants and children for so long at daycares and preschools that I felt I would know everything and all the pieces would just come together when I had a child of my own..all those veteran moms... the ones who have grandchildren or children in schools all told me that it would be different...I thought they were wrong...but boy was I surprised! When they laid Micah in my arms the first time, I was suddenly scared to death! Gone was the feeling of "oh I've got this!" and it was replaced with doubts and worries and wonders whether I could do it or not. When his big blue eyes stared at me that first time... so full of wonder and trust. All those fears were swept away. I knew I could do it.. I'm his mother. I was made to be his mother just as he was made to be my son.
Now, almost a year later, it's amazing looking back at his changing personality, physical appearance, and transition from a helpless newborn baby whom I was so proud that he was holding his head up so well to a pre-toddler who is walking everywhere, "reading" books aloud, and exploring everything!
I love being a mommy.
