I wanted to find SOMETHING, SOMEWHERE that was encouraging. That made me feel empowered to be a mother. Because I know I'm made to be a mommy. Hadley's mommy. And I realized. I was looking in all the wrong places. I needed to pray. Because God knows what's best for me. And for my family. T and I are so excited to have a little baby girl. The world is a big and scary place, and it has a lot of not nice and nasty, scary people in it. But I cannot wait to show Hadley the beauties of this world. To show her that it's ohkay to be sweet in a world where sweet isn't most people's go to. I hope she grows up knowing that her mom and dad love her very much. And when she feels truly alone, that God loves her too. I pray that I can show her the world in a different light than what I was shown. And I hope that, through God, I can do just that. So to the woman who doesn't want kids. Good for you! But I'm ohkay with the fact that I want children. I'm ohkay with wanting to be a mom. I don't think I'm over-populating the world. I'm just replacing myself. Or T. Or the woman who never wanted kids.
I love you Hadleybear!! Forever and Always!!
Such a good post!!!! You go girl, you are going to be an amazing mom. I've seen all that stuff touting not wanting kids as well, I have no idea why being a mom is downgraded by society. It's creating and then molding another person for a lifetime, leaving a huge legacy, having someone to love for life...HELLO!?!?!?
