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.
