Began my baby registry today & I must say it's consuming but in a good way. There are so many things babies need and they're all so adorable. I must admit, I went a little crazy :) I just can't wait till my baby showers ... yes plural. One my boyfriends family is organizing and the other is being organized my my stepmom & myself where I will have all my close friends & family.
So much to do but thankfully I'm giving myself time.
I never saw this, I never saw myself here...it's amazing how things change in a matter of months. I don't think I've ever been more ready. I think it's the perfect time. I've gotten myself together which mostly came after the pregnancy news. Things like this would be difficult to plan out, I am glad it happened the way it did. No one is ever really "ready" so planning would never work, at least not in my case. I feel like I'd always find an excuse or it just wouldn't flow right. I've come a long way in these few months.
I have so many feelings that run through me ... from nervousness to excitement to fear. I don't think anyone can plan to be a mother, it's something that comes naturally. Sadly, I also don't think that everyone is fit to be a mother either.
All I want is to give my baby girl everything she deserves and more. I'm thankful for my parents and the love they've bestowed upon me. I want to be better because of this little life growing inside me. Maybe this is truly what growing up feels like. Everything I did in my past, all my foolishness is long gone. I am not longer that person. I'm already better...
and I have her to thank.
