Ever since I was in my early teens even before C and I met; I knew that if I became anything in my life I wanted to be a mother. The beauty of it all fascinates me. From the moment a woman learns that she is expecting The creation of the mother begins. Its a process that leads up to that moment your child is born when nothing in the world matters but your baby.

I remember it like it was yesterday. The day I found out I was expecting my first it was so scary yet so exciting knowing that I would be embarking on this journey of nurturing and caring for the life growing within me and for years to come. The same happened with the news of my second although the level of fear was a bit more intense. 

There are three things I love about motherhood with my entire being. First is pregnancy. I love the anticipation that comes with waiting for the arrival of your little one. The countdown to the day it finally happens. All the nerves and anxiety that the wait bring. Second, the moment your child is born. That moment when all your anticipation is worth it. The moment you meet your little one and the world comes to a stop. That very moment when all else ceases and its just you and that baby. True love at first sight. A moment I can live in forever and ever and ever. And third, all the exciment that being a new mom brings. Whether its your first or fifth its always exciting. Every new thing they do is like you have never seen it before...even if your previous children have done the same. Nothing in the world can quite compare to the pride one feels as a parent when all those firsts happen for them. 

I had my children young. Early 20's! Most in my place would feel as if they have given everything up. I feel like I have gained it all. They are my world! I've never been big on all the things most people my age are into. No drinking every weekend or smoking everyday. I enjoy more simple things. The only things I miss about life without children is sleep endless sleep and privacy. The privacy to take showers without little heads and hands poking through the shower curtain or to pee in peace without someone interrupting and asking if I'm peeing or pooping. Even all that is worth it though. I love every minute!
