Our babies, our teachers
I know that sometimes I get too caught up in the preparation of having a baby — duh, this whole blog is all about my preparation! It’s just my nature to try and organize the world.
But I read this beautiful line the other day over at Small Fry & Co., and it really spoke to me:
You can’t prepare completely for being a mom, because Heavenly Father sends you your own personalized teacher. Mine is a beautiful blondy, with the most sparkling blue eyes, who loves to give hugs and kisses and who constantly surprises me. — Small Fry & C0.
Dear Baby,
I am sewing quilts and saving money and reading all the right books, in an attempt to get ready for you.
But I know I won’t ever be truly prepared for your arrival. You are going to shake up our whole world, and we can’t wait.
I’m ready to learn from you.
xoxo

I just spent the weekend with a 2 year old and now I am less prepared then ever before. And more scared. I told my husband as we were driving home that I thought having a baby may not be in my future. But he quickly reconvinced me. I’m not sure there is any preparation.

Yeah, I think it’s definitely something you just have to experience to really know what you’re in for — just like the actual birth, eek!
