I am daughter. I am sister. I am wife. I am friend
I am
I have wanted to be a mother for more than half my life. I was about 11 when I knew for sure I wanted to have a child, and its not just some vivid dream, I have been waiting to become a mother since then. And strangely I have been a mother before. Temporarily anyway (but that's another story). Now that I am pregnant with my first child and well on my way to becoming a mother I am thrilled, I am so happy, I am excited... but I am also scared. I am not scared because it is all new to me. I am scared because it is familiar but at the same time I feel like I have no idea.
What I do know is this tiny human is relying on me. right now. and s/he will continue to rely on me when they are no longer being knit together in my womb. Even more so.
This is my journey as a parent, as a wife, as a student.
I am me. I am B.
