little moments II

I can relate to my fellow student's post about kids. Only I was nervous about having my first child because I didn't know if I had what it takes to be a good mom. I am an only child, and there were never many opportunities for me to be around babies and young children as I got older, so I had no clue as to how to take proper care of them. I worked at a daycare center in college for a short time, but that didn't qualify me to be an expert full time mom! When I did have my daughter 9 months ago, I quickly learned that this "job" can only be learned once your'e on it. But motherhood is an awesome adventure. Currently, the thinking is that I only want to have 2 children, but I do really want the next one to be a boy. Maybe my husband and I will be the type of couple who get 3 girls before we get a boy. That would be a trip! The one lesson that I really have taken to heart in having a child is that NOTHING is more important than family. My daughter, my husband, my parents and in-laws, and my own grandmother always come first when they need me. Without my family, I have absolutely nothing. Here is a link to the post that inspired mine:
