Over the weekend I celebrated the upcoming arrival of my little Lucas with a Blessing Way ceremony given by my dear friend Tamara. It was very beautiful and touching to be surrounded by some of the most beautiful and strong women I know as I move into the final weeks of my pregnancy. I am thankful for a pregnancy that has been blessed with very little complication.
Although I am excited to meet my little boy for the first time, I will miss being so close to him. It really wasn't until today that I realized I will never be this close to him again. Right now, he is just mine. Pretty soon I will have to share him with the rest of the world, including a dad,who is much cooler than I am, and a big brother, who he will think is much more fun than I ever will be. I am lucky to have had this special time with him.
I received some advice about teaching my children independence, I have decided to go against that...I plan on smothering my boys with so much love that no woman will ever be good enough for them. I have no shame in admitting I will be giving my boys such a complex, that the apron strings will NEVER EVER EVER, be cut.
But on a much serious note, I just wanted to give thanks to all of those women who have seen me through the transition to motherhood, I am so very blessed to know you. Thank you for all you have given me. Words cannot express the love and appreciation for the love and growth you have provided me.
