So, I have been a mom now for just over four months. It is life changing. My whole world has turned upside-down and there are no words to describe how amazing it really feels. I never thought I could love someone this much and I cannot wait to have more babies, God willing. 

Since becoming a mother, I feel like I have joined this elite club of moms that just have this instant bond. Just yesterday, I was walking through Target and another mom was walking in the kids clothing section and she just stopped and we instantly started talking and exchanging our kids names and ages. My husband and I walk into a store and random people talk with us and just want to look at her. It’s the moms that are always the most connected to her. They just get it and even though I don’t know them, I can feel their love even to my baby that they don’t even have any connection with. No one else can really relate to us. 

As a mom, I feel like I am so protective and want everything to go just as planned or how I want. There are definite moments of self-doubt and you just mess up something completely. People tell you all their stories and all of their advice ALL THE TIME. Some you take and some you just leave and have to nod your head and smile. I don’t know everything about being a mom and I am learning every day with her. I want to be the perfect mother for her and my future babies but I know that is unrealistic. The only thing I can do is follow my gut and my heart and work side-by-side with my husband. 

My daughter has taught me so much already. Not only has she taught me more patience but how to love even more. The people around her are so loving and you are just treated differently as a mom. I absolutely love it and it is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I have a feeling my heart will grow and grow with every little miracle we create.
