Does every mother feel this way?

I stare down at my baby boy in awe and wonderment. This little creature lived inside of me for 10 months. He liked it so much, he wanted to stay longer than normal!

What a little piggy!

I never realized how much love I was capable of experiencing until I held my own child. I had the wonderful experience of helping my sisters with their children and babysitting for several different families in the neighborhood that I grew up in, but never, no never felt anything like this...

I prayed that I would have the wisdom to raise him to be a kind, loving man but more so I prayed that he would be a responsible, resourceful, educated adult. I looked at the men I knew in my life and wondered what their mom's had been thinking. Really! Do we need another boy/man in the world? You know what I mean.... a man that clings to childish behaviors and dreams and isn't willing or able to go forth and be an adult.

Heaven forbid my child should turn out like that
