Everything I wanted- I got it

When I was 18 I was in  my 1st year at the University. I was fresh out of collage and on to my Bachelor of Commerce.

At that time my aim was simply to finish my degree before I was 21 years old. Find a guy in the university settle down, get married and have some kids. I planned to have a couple of kids and to birth them before I reached 30 years old so that I would have enough time and energy to spend time with them during their childhood years.

Simplistic ideas which I was working hard to achieve.

I graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce at 20, Got engaged at 21 and married before I turned 22 years old.  Had my #1 at 25yrs old, #2  and 29 yrs old  and #3 at 32 yrs old. Well.. slightly off the 30yrs old marker which I set for myself but hey.. at least before I’m being classified under  the high risk pregnancy category for older mothers.

I’m blessed that everything that I wanted- I got it!!

Writer’s Workshop- Dearest Baby

Dominique Thoughts alpha thursday, mama kat's writers workshop

Dearest Baby ,

Today marks your 8th month old birthday.  It’s a joy waking up seeing your eyes sparkle and you showing me your toothless grin in the morning. You are a really happy-go-lucky baby and really enjoy having your mama around to cater to your needs 24/7.

Everyone loves your chubby cheeks  and Michelin Tyre body. These are the trademarks which you share with your brothers when they were around the same age. Your sweet smile and laughter are really infectious. You really know how to brighten up everyone’s day.

The way you call out “Mummy” in your cute little voice really melts my heart. It erases all the tiredness and physical exhaustion I face on a daily basis  carrying you around while going about with the daily chores.

You are Daddy’s little princess and you really know how to tug as his heart strings with your bewitching eyes and shouting in joy  “Papa” as he steps through the main door after a day at work.

I love watching how you are so curious about the little things around you and how excited you get when you suddenly find that you are able to manipulate the toy that you have been playing with.

Watching you grow and meet the various milestone is really satisfying and I won’t trade it for any job in the world.

Lots of love,

Mummy.
