...And now, I'm ready to be a mother.



My best friend in the whole world is pregnant, y'all! I got the call this morning- she said, "Guess who's gonna be an auntie!" I immediately asked her who her little brother had gotten pregnant?! Apparently, her dad asked the same thing! But it was her! And I'm going to be an auntie! And guess what? I'm going to be the best auntie in the whole world (until my actual sister has a kid- then I'll be the greatest auntie in the universe!)!  I was truly overjoyed- I don't remember the last time I cried tears of pure happiness.  Something else I felt though, was love.  Not love for my friend- I mean I adore her, of course- but the love I felt was for her unborn child.  Never before had I felt anything like it, but I feel in love with that little person the moment my mind wrapped around its existence.  I pray above all that she has a healthy baby, but I have to be honest, I do hope it's a little girl-  A fat little ball of chocolate with bushy hair that I can shower with love, affection, kisses, and hugs! I can not wait to meet this kid- you guys have no idea! But as my title says, it wasn't until this moment that I honestly, and truly wanted to be a mother. No longer scared, no longer fearful...I can't wait for the moment that I can call my closest family and friends, giddy and full of excitement, to say "Guess who's having a BABY!!!!"
