My Road to Motherhood and the Joys that Come With It

When I first found out I was pregnant I was both excited and scared. My husband and I had not planned to have a second child so soon after our first. We had hoped the children would be two or three years apart and now they were going to be 16 months apart. I began to think back to when I found out I was pregnant with my daughter and I remembered having the same feelings. I remembered the initial shock of finding out that in less than 9 months I would be responsible for someone else but I also remembered the first time I held her and how she had melted my heart. However, I also thought about how enjoyable pregnancy was - I even bought some maternity lingerie when I was pregnant the first time. I thought about the time I was pregnant and how for the most part I enjoyed it and I remembered the first time she smiled at me and I knew right then and there that she was mine and I was hers. Although I have fears about bringing another child in to the world, I try to focus on the good things that will come. I try to think about the first laugh and the first smile and the first time wanted me over anyone else. There is nothing that prepares for you for those moments. No matter what you feel when you find out you are pregnant nothing can compare to the joy of holding someone you know is half you.
