The Joys of being a mom

Good Morning All, I have to say I never realized how hard times can be having a little one in my life. But i will say this much. This little boy has stole my heart and is such a blessing no matter what life as brought me. I look at him and think if i didnt have you where would i be today. Nate is doing all the cooing, 17 weeks today and teething and is fussy cause he either has allergies, sinus, or a cold he goes to the dr at 3p so we will see. I'm not going to lie I have asked myself what did i do? What have I done? Am I crazy for having a baby? The answer is no. God gave me this child for a reason and he is a true blessing. Sam & I in our past marriages tried and didnt succeeded so i do belive this is gods way of saying that we were meant for each other. I wouldnt trade my little man for the world. Althought i still deal with anexity and some depression and weight gain then high blood pressure on top of that i would do it again. For those people that have kids and want nothing to do with them I feel so sorry. I look up to you single mothers who do this on your own and yes i have to point out one person in general. Your a very strong person Jess and I look up to you. I cant ever wonder how i would have done it with out the father in his life. Your an amazing strong woman who maybe a little stressed at time but you have your reason and are making it threw it. Well i am not sure what i am trying to say here. I am just thankful for caring people who are not always out to flame or cuss someone out and I am thankful for what god has given me today. Another day to wake another day with my fussy butt little Nate who today is 17 weeks. I never really understood the whole week and month thing. If you go by weeks he is over 4 months but i was told you go by the day they were born which means the 25th he will be 4 months. I can't belive its been that long since i had him and how i remember how small he was holding him. Now he is a big bag of taters. My little sugar bugger lol have a great days ladies thanks in advance for all your love and support Marsha mom 2 nate 17 weeks today www.myspace.com/mom2sweetlilnate http://www.PictureTrail.com/gid12540653

Oh I do not know how single moms do it either. I sit and think of all the times I depend on my DH and despite our differences at times, I am in awe at single mothers. And they do grow up too fast. I can't believe Kyan is 14 mos. old. When do we stop counting by months and weeks anyway? I told someone at work that Kyan was 14 mos old and she got mad and said, "Khaki, he's one, okay. ONE. Not 14 mos. ONE." Khaki Kyan 07/14/05 EDD Twins 04/15/07

Hey Khaki, I have heard a lot of people say that you don't stop counting by the months until they hit the age of 2. And Marsha I agree...I don't know how I could this alone! Especially me at first, when I first got home I had horrible PPD and didn't want her at all and had the same "What have I done?" thoughts. It is still difficult some days but I love her to bits, she is so happy and loving! Valena
