But then I read your post about how wonderful it is to be a mother, how much Wes has changed your life, how much you've grown and learned. I know all those things in an academic sense, but the prospect of "motherhood" is so daunting. For the rest of my life, I will be Amelia's mom. It's exciting and overwhelming. Thank you for sharing, and helping calm my fears.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07146525048668651686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33126584.post-44397506591400816592009-11-06T07:40:36.346-08:002009-11-06T07:40:36.346-08:00I can hardly believe it's nearly been a year! ...I can hardly believe it's nearly been a year!
