Bundle of Joy- Parenthood

I can remember many years before your birth. I longed for a child very much, I thought being a mother was just a dream. I started to believe something was wrong with me, I felt like I was a broken woman I felt as though I had some kind of defect. Everyone around me were having babies, I thought it would never happen for me. Then one day after many years of trying, One day out of the blue , I started to feel different, Then I thought to myself could it be? I went to the doctor and took a test and I waited anxiously. He gave me the wonderful news and I was so happy. I nearly fainted but amazingly I didn't fall. I fell in love with you instantly Feeling you grow inside my womb was the most incredible feeling in the world. I couldn't wait for your arrival When you finally came my heart just melted for you. My precious, precious baby girl. 10-16-17 Inspired by the “Parenthood” contest Sponsor: Silent One Second Place
