#5: To be a mom or not
Ever since I was a little girl, I dreamed of being a mom. Maybe because my mom and I are so close, how she made it seem so wonderful. She truly loved being a mom. My siblings and I have a good example. So, I had this plan to get married, be a good wife, and then become a mom and be a great mom. I got married at 18, our first year was rocky. We chose not to have children until our second year of marriage, mainly because our marriage would not have been able to withstand it. Then we had our first child when I was 21. It has been a life changing experience. I love my child, and the one on the way. Kamryn, my daughter, is 20 months--loves to be independent, imitate my husband's and my behavior. We still occasionally have sleepless nights; she has a temper and it seems like it flares for days on end at times... But, it is all worth it. We have the honor of raising a child to love and teach to be a responsible member of society, to love God, and love someone else. After this next child is born, I am not sure how many more I want. Maybe one more. We will see. My husband swears that if we do not have a boy, we will keep on making babies! Haha! But, I am not sure that I will agree after the 3rd.

I love your outlook on being a mom. It is truly an honor and privelege. Tough times in the terrible two's, but it is usually the trying three's after that!! I also have two children, ages 8 and 11. I will let you know when they mellow out!! Make sure and take time for yourself, so you can be good for everyone else in your family...That is the best advice my grandma ever gave me, and it is so true. Take care!
Congratulations on becoming a mother for the second time around. I have always dreamed of becoming a mom also. I hope that someday my dream comes true. My mother and I are close also. I can talk about all of the girly stuff and feel comfortable. My mother loved being a mom also; she said if she could have more children, she would. I am the only girl out of fourteen boys. I am glad you and your husband worked through your marital problems. Staying in a marriage is a full time job. It defiantly sounds like you have the right standards on raising a child.
