No one is ever prepared to be a parent. When a baby arrives in your life, it is one of the most amazing experiences one can have in life. The range of emotions is phenominal. Joy, awe and a sense of wonder don't begin to explain the feelings of new parents. The sense of responsibility can be overwhelming and rightly so. Not only has a life been born but a living soul with wants, needs, and incredible potential. To realize that so much of what will become of that little bundle of life is directly related to what you will do is a sobering matter.
Did you ever look at your own baby photos and wonder what your parents were thinking when they put that outfit on you, or gave you that haircut? Even the minute details were in their hands! Such things can't fully be realized until you have a child of your own. Hopefully it creates a sense of mercy on what your parents were able or even unable to do for you. It's no easy task being a parent and I've yet to meet one who, in hindsight, wouldn't want to have done some things differently.
This blog is dedicated to parents and children with a desire to provide support, encouragement and information that will make the journey more joyful than stressful. Having raised 5 children of my own, I believe my thoughts are worth the sharing!
Enjoy!
