Two Years A Mom

Being a mother...aaaaaah the joys!

From the belly growth and stretch marks to the waiting and the wondering about the little person you're about to meet...
And they arrive, and voila, your life changes in a heartbeat...
The late night feedings, the crying, the changing of diapers...it all seems endless
Yes, life will never be the same again!

And up they get and take their first steps, what a wonder to see them walk
Baby proof the house, close off the swimming pool...remove the Oros from their reach...it's a mad house!
Now the little one is a walking mess machine, you have been deemed clean up crew 24/7

And with the steps come the first few words...
Mama...mama...mama
I love the sound of my new name!
It's amazing, I never want to be called anything else ever again...

All of a sudden she discovers I actually have a name!!!
Berneeth...she teases, trying to pronounce Bernice as best she can
We conversating now...it's endless questions of "what's that" seemingly on repeat mode

Aaaaaah the joys, two years a mom and I wouldn't trade it for anything!

She's still my little girl you know, my baby through and through
What a pleasure it is watching you grow, my big eyed yellow girl!
