Wow. For 9 months, I would talk to my baby. (we didn't know whether we were having a boy or girl, so we affectionately called the baby "Bean" because she looked like a jelly bean in her 12 week ultrasound) I'd tell the Bean, "Mama loves you." And "I'm Mom." And we'd spend a lot of time daydreaming about what it would be like when the Bean finally "sprouted". (horrible pun, I know).
October 1, 2007, my husband Matt and I welcomed our beautiful Kylie into the world. And though I had said the words before, now to hold her, see her, and say "Hi there. I'm Mom." It was a moment like no other. The love, the connection, the overwhelming responsibilty, that came with those words was just so wonderful, words will never be able to truly capture that special moment.
I've looked forward to being a mom all my life. I'm the eldest of 6 girls. That's right - 6. I truly admire the way my parents raised us. Dad worked hard to provide for his growing family. Mom stayed home with us. We were well taken care of, but best of all, there was lots of love in the house. I hope to provide Kylie the same loving memories of her own childhood.
