I can’t believe I’ve already reached my 38th week of pregnancy! We will be welcoming our first baby into the world anytime now. It feels so surreal. When it comes to being prepared to be a mom, there is no perfect instruction manual or enough advice that you can be given. At least, that’s what I have been told.

I’ve read that there are going to be days that I feel like I’m not good enough or that I’m doing everything wrong. So what is the best way that I think I can prepare for motherhood? Expect to be less than perfect and accept that I don’t have all of the answers! Being a mom is something that I have wanted to be my whole life. I believe that God made me, like so many other women, for this awesome experience. I prayed that God would bless my husband and I with the precious gift of a child.

The reason I wanted to make this post is because we all have different thoughts and beliefs about motherhood, even before it happens to us. However, one thing that we all have in common is that we are expected to rise to the occasion and be the best that we can be. And that is all that you can do. Make the choice to be the best you for this new person that you gave life to and the rest will fall into place.
