As I get ready to ring in the new year, a million different thoughts are racing through my mind.
I am going to be a mom. I am going to have a baby. Whoa. A baby. A real baby.
I will soon become responsible for a human being’s life, other than my own. How crazy, and terrifying, is that?
Exactly one year ago, I could have never fathomed I would be in the position I am in. Ever.
I am officially one step closer to meeting the other love of my life. I have actually grown a human inside of my body, and carried her around for the past eight months.
Four more short weeks, more or less, and our baby girl will be here in person and not just a thought in our minds. This is unreal.
The journey has actually been pretty beautiful. I know that everyone’s experience is different but; it truly has been quite amazing.
I never envisioned how magical the process would be, or how close I would feel to her. When she kicks and/or moves inside of my belly, it can be rather uncomfortable or poor timing but; it is a sure reminder that I am never alone. She is always with me.
I am eager to jump into my “new role” as a mom, but as I said earlier… I am completely terrified! Along with my husband, I am literally responsible for keeping her alive. We have to feed her, change her, bathe her, burp her, etc. That’s crazy intense!
The easy part of it all will be loving her, because we already love her so much and she isn’t even physically here with us yet.
It will no longer just Adam and me now… we will have another person tagging along with us. Wow!
To all of the other moms and dads who are taking on new roles this new year, good luck.
May you get more than an hour of sleep, the opportunity to shower, and may you enjoy this new wonderful journey in life!
I am certainly looking forward to it all.
I am also looking forward to having normal-sized feet again.
Xoxo
