As I stare at the life of what was made, my heart rejoices, the new teachings of life that grasps on to us as we shed happy tears. My love for my child is beyond what any could ever imagine; each moment cherished and every memory put away to remember when my hair grows gray. So intelligent and happy all the time and the precious babbling; one cannot express just how much I hold my son dear to my heart. I made a promise to him that I would protect him from those that intend to hurt him on purpose. I want him to learn responsibility; to be the man that is able to do it on his own. I don't want him growing up thinking everything is just gonna be handed to him. I want him to earn his way and to be humble. I want him to be able to enjoy the simple pleasures in life; I also want him to learn that happiness cannot be bought. 

Today, my son, you turned three months old. You are the apple of my eye and the reason for all that I do. Your smile, laugh, babbling, and cuddles....are far more precious to me than all the money in the world I could possibly win. 'Cause money cannot buy the happiness or pride that I feel to know that you are my son. I love you dearly more than life itself. I feel blessed because you are the greatest gift I could ever receive and no matter what you do in life....I will love you and be there for you whenever you need me.
 

 

 

Little Wonders.

I never would have thought I'd have a family so young. Though I have always pictured myself as a mother; I cannot begin to describe to you just how it makes me feel to know that I have a healthy baby boy on the way. I bet all mothers feel the same way with their first child. I can honestly say that in the beginning of my journey I was petrified of the idea of me being a mother. I also was surprised with the idea of have a little one and only being 20 by the time I would have this baby. There are many options I thought about, but none seemed to make me feel like I was doing enough as a new mother. Some mothers at my age would have considered abortion; however, with my beliefs in who I am I could never do that to my body or a new life. And it was in the idea that I have  a growing being in me that made me realize just how special he was. That I was capable of making such a beautiful wonder that only God had made for us women to feel. I often wonder if I will make a good mother for my son, as all mothers worry about, I am sure that we all worry over the same thing. Being 6 mos. pregnant and with only 3 mos. left to go; I sometimes wonder a multitude of things about this upcoming adventure. I, however, will find myself traveling it to the best of my ability. I will be whatever I have to be to ensure my son has everything he needs. He may not have a rich upbringing, but I will be sure that he has a bright future ahead of him. As all children should have as they grow. I promise to scrimp and save to make sure he follows whatever dream he sets his eyes on. I also promise he will have great morals and ethics to help him see between right and wrong. It is a mother's duty to show her child the right way to a fulfilling life. A path away from drugs, alcohol, and a life of crime. I can only hope that the path I help him achieve will guide him to better things.
