I am a mother.

I went to the doctor’s appointments.

Read everything possible to prepare.

Went shopping, bought all the goodies.

Waited, restlessly, to go into labor.

The big day arrives, and I made it.

Here comes my beautiful little boy.

My pride and joy.

Made the bottles, and changed the diapers.

Looked into those little blue eyes.

He is my little miracle.

Growing and changing, all too quick.

The days turned to nights.

He’s rolling and crawling.

Walking and talking.

Months turned to years.

Where has the time gone?

My little angel is growing up.

This is the greatest gift of all.

Motherhood.
