it means that one day, i met someone and had no clue that years later, i couldn’t have become a mother without him
my hips (and feet) got wider and the stretch marks on my stomach got bigger and deeper
i gained two scars in the same exact spot and while my body changed, permanently
being pregnant will always be the most amazing thing it ever did
it means that miracles occurred within me
and on two days, nine months later and approximately five years apart,
two baby girls were born – ava irene and allie vannah
and looking back now, it’s like they were always there
it means at times i have looked at my daughters and i have felt that i was looking at myself
and there have been moments where i saw a glimmer of the young ladies they will become
i get to witness beautiful relationships between sisters and dad/daughters ❤
it means long days and years that go by too fast
trying to remember how tiny they once were
and coming to terms with them getting bigger, smarter, prettier
it means pretending that there will never come a day that we won’t snuggle together
realizing one day, they are not going to need me as much as they do now
or, they will need me – just for different reasons
and that it is terrifying not quite knowing what the future holds for any of us
it means that i wouldn’t change anything
because i have been given love that is unconditional, overflowing and neverending ❤
