Reflecting

Berkley has been such a blessing in my life, and in Neal's too. I remember when we found out when we were pregnant, we were scared. We were scared about a lot of things, more so the financial side. As she is almost 7 months I wouldn't change anything as I reflect on the past. She has brought SO much joy to our lives I couldn't imagine anything different! For me it was though being a mom, being that I was the youngest and had no experience with kids besides babysitting them and giving them back to their parents. The first two months were extremely tough for Neal and I, as we were both going to school. Four and a half months later I decided to quit school and raise my child the way I felt, and it has been one of the best decisions I have made so far.

Over the past two months that I have not been in school I have seen a HUGE improvement in Berkley's attitude, sleeping patterns, and accomplishments (rolling over, standing up, and now trying to walk as I hold her hands!!) Yes ,there are many times when I don't understand certain things beingwith being a parent.. but I have to realize to let it go and re -collect. As I do so, I have an a ha moment. I am very grateful for Mrs. Berkley, so much happiness, along with some stress here and there, has brought me to love this little girl.
