I googled the definition of a mother and this is what I got: • to give birth to (a child) : to be or act as mother to (someone) : to care for or protect (someone) like a mother. I thought to myself, you truly can’t even begin to try to squeeze the definition of a mother into one sentence or even a few bullet points. The meaning of a mother is pretty much endless. A mother is one of the most selfless human beings on earth. A mom has to sacrifice her own wants and needs (often sleep lol)…

I remember the day I saw two lines on the pregnancy test indicating that I was pregnant. Outside of “bad timing” due to us having our wedding ceremony six months down the line, I was so happy to be expecting my second child and first child with my husband. Being pregnant was truly an answered prayer and something me and my husband looked forward to experiencing together. With my first pregnancy being unplanned and having to welcome a baby girl to the world as a single mom, I looked forward to a totally different experience being that I was married…
