Its amazing to keep looking back on how things used to be, an how they are now. To see how much my world has changed so much since I laid eyes on that little pink positive sign. Everyone encounters a point in time where their life does a complete 180; and for me, this had to be that moment. I must admit, I was scared of the thought of being a Mom, yet I still desired it so bad. However, things just came natural for me...as if I just knew what to do. They call that 'Maternal instinct,' lol.
Now I see what was, an now what is; an I cant imagine my life without her. Knowing that she depends on me for everything...to support her, nuture her, form her into an independent woman. It is a huge responsibility, an though times are very stressful, in the end, every little thing is worth it all.
Elizabeth will be turning a year old in less than a month now; an while I'm very excited, I still tear up at the thought of it...I guess its because the first year seems the longest, yet after it, time flies by. I suppose its more of the thought of her growing up and leaving me that scares me, an while I know that is several years from now, I still cant help but to think of it. I'm sure every parent goes through this same thing...because we all just want to always be there for our children no matter how old they are.
Anyway. I'm gonna go play with the Little Princess.
