Dear My Pre-Parent Self,
You could never have imagined what it would be like to be a parent. I know how much you wanted it and how excited you were when you found out that you were pregnant but I have to say looking back that you had no idea what you were in for.
The love that you experience as parent is indescribable! You can never anticipate the emotions that come from having a baby. Monkey has been such a blessing in our lives and has changed it in ways that I would never want to reverse.
Then there is the part of being a homemaker. It was your dream from a little girl. Wanting to stay home and raise a family was what you always wanted. It hasn't been easy and we have made some not so good choices along the way but once again I'm so glad that we get to experience everything we have been through as a family.
You would be so proud to know how things are if you could see the future from where you are at. God has fulfilled so many promises for not only us but for our family. It is amazing to think about. I mean I remember the day at the doctors when she said that you may never have kids and now as I'm writing this we have a 3 year old and even got pregnant for a second time with an IUD! What are the chances! It's crazy how things work out.
I have to say I don't miss my old pre-parent self. I would much rather be living the life I have now then the one that I was living. I'm so glad to have so many dreams and promises fulfilled.
With Love,
My Post-Parent Self
