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.
