Before i knew it i had this beautiful bundle of joy in my arms (as you see below), she was perfect in every single way. I couldn't stop looking at her, and couldn't bring myself to not be near her. I was so proud of my precious baby, and was so afraid if i blinked or walked away even for a minute that this dream would be over. I remember spending the first week, really not getting any sleep at all. Not because the new important job i had kept me from doing so, but because i just had to watch her breath. I had to know she was ok, and was afraid i would miss something.
Now we fast forward 5 years later, and i have this gorgeous little girl as you see below. She has taught me more than i thought i could even learn, and showed me how to love unconditionally. She has of course gave me a run for my money, and had her rough patches with colic and health issues along the way. But it's because of her that i earned my wings in the mommy club, i know what true love is because of Makenna. I also know what it's like to truly be exhausted, to never have a private moment, to be truly selfless, and want another person to have everything life can offer before i have anything for myself. I watch her grow and morph into this little person everyday, and i swear i wish i could just hit the stop button. It's going so fast and i find myself afraid i will miss something all over again, the days go by so fast. I know i haven't always been the most perfect mom, because well we all make mistakes. But i always get back up swinging, and never will i give up fighting to make your life a million times better than i can ever imagine.
To all you mommy's out there! thank you and give yourself a hug. We are the makers of the future!
