It has truly been everything I’ve ever wanted it to be. No, it’s not always easy but it’s easily worth it!
As far back as I remember all I ever wanted to be was a mama. At 19 I thought I was going to have a little girl Makayah but God had other plans for me and decided she was needed more in heaven then on earth.
My strength grew tremendously from that experience and I held on to my faith that I would indeed still be a mother one day when the time was right.
Fast forward to 2020 when my dream came true and God gave me another girl! Mila Bella is everything I could of dreamed of in a daughter and I am so blessed to be her mama! She has so much personality. She’s funny, so smart, the most loving and caring little two year old I’ve known. Don’t get me wrong she’s got some sass to her too but I love every bit of it.
August 17th of this year I got some long awaited news that I was going to be a mama again! Then October 9th we found out we were going to have a little boy Dawson Blake. Unfortunately, November 28th I went to my normal routine appointment and they discovered he no longer had a heartbeat. You can only imagine how crushed I was and still am along with our whole family.
Instead of being angry at God, which don’t get me wrong for a split second I was. I asked why me again God, why my son, why our family. I had to shift my focus and just pray to God to help me through this pain, to help me stay focused on God. I have made every effort this last week to look to him with my pain and I will continue to! I wasn’t going to let the devil in to only bring me negative thoughts.
I’m telling this story because this is motherhood. All the good and the bad it’s made me who I am as a mom and if I’m being honest I am dang proud of the mama I am.
I am hopeful I will get to carry another beautiful child of God to term and share the love I have for Mila with my next child as well.
