My baby is almost 14 months and everyday I feel like he is starting to look a lot like his daddy although some of my friends think that I look a lot like him.
No matter what, our baby is a product of our loving hearts and selflessness and he may look like whoever God wants him to look like.
His hearty laughter, funny antics, the way he tries to stand on his own little wobbly feet, his ability to put his feet in his mouth, his version of saying good-bye and clapping at the same time and how he softly cries whenever Mommy leaves or Daddy tries to let him sleep again after he just woke up make every tiring day nothing when I see and hug him in my arms.
Funny how such a small thing makes the biggest impact in your life.
I was at a loss when I first saw him but one thing is constant, the unconditional love I feel for him now and forever.
They say every new born baby is God’s opinion that the world should go on and indeed life goes on for me and Chris when he came into our lives.
I have accepted the fact that I would have to sacrifice some of the things I do when I was still single like traveling but I would never ever trade you for some remote exotic location or some hidden gem far far away.
I have accepted all the imperfections that go with having a child and I would never ever sacrifice you for less white hair or a flatter tummy.
As I’ve become a mother, I’ve become nicer and less judgmental of myself and of other people. They, too, will have children and that will be the day that they will have to know what it feels like to be a parent.
Motherhood gave me sleepless nights and broken schedules, it gave me irregular heartbeat and less than perfect skin and hair but these are what makes you
stronger and more passionate. It makes you appreciate life even more and it makes you strive in life a lot more harder.
I have been lucky to have experienced pregnancy, labor and motherhood.
So many have never even had the chance to have one, and so many have died before they could have a child of their own.
Motherhood has kept me alive. It gave me new heart, new eyes and a new life.
I know I am not going to live forever, but knowing I have brought out a responsible, God-fearing citizen of the world is enough for me.
