Becoming a young mummy.

You are precious in every way, the sunshine of my day, the joy in my soul and the love of my life.

Becoming a young mother was the most life changing decision I had ever made, I wasn't sure if I was doing the right thing, whether I'd be a great mum or if I was going to be useless. Xavier became a surprise in our lives and the best surprise I could have ever imagined.

I fell instantanoulsy in love with him when he was only 5cm long, then he kicked me for the first time and i fell in love again. Becoming a mother is like falling in love all over again every single day, children make you discover a whole new meaning to life.

You see things brighter, you learn new things everyday ,you learn to laugh even when your the most frustrated because its 2am in the morning and they're still wide awake. You learn to survive on less hours sleep, you learn your microwave like no tomorrow with the constant warming up of meals, bottles and the cup of tea you've reheated over 5 times and wonder whether you should reheat that 6th time. 

I am lucky to watch my son grow,laugh and learn. I am so lucky to be a mother. So when people ask me whats it like to have a baby at the age of 21 while all of my other friends are out travelling, moving states and partying most weekends. My answer is, its great, amazing and totally worth while. The greatest thing i've ever done! I get up every morning hearing muuum, we eat our breakfast together and watch kid cartoons on the couch. When I  look at his face and see my eyes. What could possibly be better than that?

Its truly such a blessing to have such a bond with your child, I know exactly what mood he is in, what he whats and what he doesn't like. We can see and discover the world together. I fall asleep every night knowing I have the greatest gift in the world and i wouldn't change that feeling for anything.
