Our baby wasn't planned but also didn't happen on surprise. Me and my bf have been together for a while and love eachother dearly. We know we are the one's for eachother and we hardly fight. When we do it's something stupid and lasts not even 5 min before we are apologizing to eachother. We are currently engaged and told ourselves that we both want a kid but we shouldn't try cuz we were still in school so we just didn't use protection and when it happened it happened because we graduated this year anyways. We have everything planned out and he has an awesome job that pays great and is on his way to becoming a police officer. So It was kind of both lol. But this is a great topic because I just recently wrote a blog on myspace talking about how people shouldn't call babies mistakes especially if it's not theirs. Here it is.
Just a shout out to all mommies out there.
As I recently said on my facebook, I know a lot of people secretly think or say behind my back that I've made a mistake getting pregnant. But I'm not gonna say what will soon be my daughter a mistake. In fact, she's the opposite of a mistake, she's a gift.
As a mom, I know I haven't experienced all the joys and stresses of having a child yet but I can say this.
When you can feel an actual human being that you helped make kick, move, or hiccup inside you and you are already in love, you know that that feeling is NOT a mistake.
When you go to the doctor's office and hear your babies heartbeat for the very first time you know that that heartbeat is NOT a mistake.
When you see your baby move his/her hands and feet around and see his/her face on an ultrasound, you know that that picture is NOT a mistake.
When you are in labor and in pain and the only thing that motivates you to get through it all is seeing your child for the first time, you know that that pain is NOT a mistake.
When you are forced to go through a c-section and are under the knife, and you see your child come out perfectly healthy you know that that scar is NOT a mistake.
When you are pushing and pushing and finally hear your child's first cry, you know that that sound is NOT a mistake.
And when you finally get to hold your newborn child in your arms and see his/her fingers and how small they are and how your child looks like you and thinking how they've just been born but they've already gone through so much and how you started out that way you know that that child is NOT a mistake.
No child is a mistake. Instead they are a blessing and a gift. When you see your child you know that it was intended for him/her to come into this world now with their mommies and families that love them.
There's a special bond between a mother and her child that nobody can experience not even fathers. Don't get me wrong there is that special bond for a father too but nothing beats a mother's special bond.
When a child is first born, the sound of their mother's voice instantly soothes him/her. Because they recognize their mother's voice. A mother's voice is their first memory that starts from when they are still in the womb.
To all the babies, you are a gift and blessing to your mommies and families that love you.
To all mommies, you are an inspiration and a role model to me and I look up to all of you.
I know that I did NOT make a mistake and I don't plan on changing my thoughts on it.
I love Kayt Elizabeth Smith. Due Date=November 13th 2010.
Also, I am having a baby shower in a month or two =) Lemme know if you wanna come.
Thanks
