I always felt I was called to be a wife and a mom. The process of becoming a wife and mom are similar in both having phases of Anticipation, Congratulation, and Celebration!
In becoming a wife, we:
♥ Anticipate who our husband will be, then our wedding
♥ Are congratulated on engagement, then marriage
♥ Are celebrated on our wedding day, then on anniversaries
In becoming a mom, we:
♥ Anticipate seeing and holding our baby, while we are pregnant
♥ Are congratulated at baby showers, then after giving birth
♥ Celebrate our children’s birthdays every year
So when it came to celebrating myself in these areas, I believed it was inappropriate because I was doing what I was supposed to be doing. It never dawned on me that I always had the option not to!

Now that I see the fruits of my labor in my teenage and young adult children’s character- I celebrate ALL THE TIME! Every time I look at them, I am reminded that with Jesus’, and then my husband’s (King David) help- we did it! I even refer to myself as “The Best Mom Ever” for my children. If you’re wondering how this transformation came to fruition, I’m excited to share glimpses into my motherhood journey with you!
Anticipate: What The Handbooks Don’t Tell You (Part 1/3 in the "Best Mom Ever" series)
Immediately after hearing the emergency room doctor nonchalantly say, “Oh yeah, you’re pregnant”- my life’s purpose immediately transformed into being the best mom ever to my son. That meant leading him by example through giving, showing, and sharing love in all the best ways possible with him- so he could learn how to do that for others.
Coincidently, up until that point, I had zero experience with babies or children. I changed a diaper for the first time at my baby shower! So I studied every motherhood book I could find in the libraries to show myself approved to be a mother. I went to all doctor appointments and followed all my doctor’s suggestions. I was a senior in high school, so I ate the mediocre school lunch with chocolate milk every day to ensure my son would be well-nourished. But NOTHING in the books told me what to expect regarding life decisions! I made my first major life decision as my son’s mother at the end of my senior year.
I was given two options by my school’s administration: Stay on my college tracks and continue going to school; or transfer to a behavioral school and receive four weeks off starting from my son’s birth. The second option also meant I would forfeit all earned college credits and internships, plus be displaced from advance to remedial classes. After consulting with my favorite teacher, Ms. Stem who taught me Early Childhood Education 1 (and at the time) Early Childhood Education 2, I chose to prioritize bonding with my son during his first month of life.
