I never thought the day would come that I’d be someone’s mother. Two years and five months later it still doesn’t seem real at times. On April 16, 2012, I was blessed with a beautiful baby girl, and I named her Kyler. The feeling of seeing her face, kissing her lips, and saying her name for the first time was so unexplainable, and still is to this day. I never knew that it was possible to love someone more than I loved myself. But it’s very possible and I wouldn't’t trade it for a thing in this world.
In the earlier years of her life I was super over protective of her. Id rarely let her out of my sight, unless she was with my mom. I was told I had the new baby blues and I’d get over them very soon. As Kyler started to grow, I felt like it was happening all too soon. I remember the very first time she started day care, I cried because I didn’t want to leave her. I must have called the sitter a thousand times to check on her in about a 10 hour time frame. As time went on it go easier to leave her while I went to work.
Before I knew it she was turning a year old, and was on big girl status. By this time, she’d gotten some teeth, and she’d stop drinking out of a baby bottle. It was like she was becoming her own little independent person overnight.
Being a full-time single parent is no easy job. There are a lot of late nights and early mornings that come along with it. Some days I want to throw the towel in and walk away, but then I'm reminded every time I see her little face, that's not an option.]]> http://www.writerq.com/mobile/library/756/parenthood/ Thu, 16 Oct 2014 20:50:03 +0000 Tiffany Duckett
