Sometimes it all seems so surreal. After losing the first pregnancy on Father's Day two years ago and hoping so much for another baby, after getting pregnant again the following April, and all the stress and anxiety of that second pregnancy...
Then this morning, I hear her stirring in her crib. She turns herself so she can see me, and coos at me as if to say, "Psst! Mama? Are you awake?"
Being a mom is the hardest thing I've ever done, but each morning feels like heaven. I have my baby.
Whenever it gets really tough, I just hold her tight and tell her, "You're my baby." (I still sound surprised that I really have her, because I am surprised and so grateful.) "I love you, and I promise not to take one minute for granted."
