Mother's Day

Happy Mother’s Day! Today I am not only celebrating my amazing mama but my decision to be a mother as well. It was really scary to accept that I was going to be a mom, I was so nervous to take the test that I avoided it for three months before finally taking the test. Once I finally did, I felt so disappointed in myself and I thought my life was literally over. My mother was pretty much a stay at home mom who was so genuine and fun. She had always wanted me to abstain from sex until I was married. Which made me feel extra guilty to tell her I was pregnant. When I finally told her I couldn't speak because I was crying so hard so I handed her a picture of the ultrasound. She was as usual so kind and loving and put me on her lap and rocked me! She said, "babies are a blessing, this is an amazing gift you are being given." My mom is always my main source of comfort; I hope my kids feel the same way about me. Two years later I have my beautiful baby boy who is my whole heart!

Everyone who has wished me happy Mothers Day today has made me tear up! I don’t know what’s wrong with me! I am just so privileged to be Kale’s mother and I couldn’t be more thankful for everyone who has watched and helped us grow. My family and friends have made this entire process much easier, we are beyond lucky!
