...I think about the fact that one day Ben won't be a baby. For this I am half excited, half terrified. It's all so unreal, the way a little person comes into the world and changes every single day. Today I'm feeding him pears. Tomorrow I'll be yelling at him for staying out too late with the girl I don't approve of (ahhhh). Being a Mom really is just being in a constant state of terrified anxiety. But...it's also a constant state of crazy, crazy love.
I know exactly what you mean - I was terrifed I wasn't doing the right things - but for all my fears and anxiety - you turned out pretty good! And you are a fabulous Mom. I am so proud of you. And I absolutely adore Ben - can't even imagine what life was like before he got here.
I'm scared too. I wish I could hang on to these little moments just a little bit longer
