Born to Mother

There was never a moment when I didn't want to be a mother. Throughout childhood I mothered animals, dolls, cousins, neighbors and even tried "mothering" my parents. When I was looking for Mr. Right, I was looking for the "Perfect" father for my children. When I found him I married him and then all the "Fun" began. By fun I am referring to the conversations about having children....waiting for the right time....."Why can't I get pregnant?"......"Which Fertility Doctor should I call?"......11 failed IUI.....2 failed invitros....Sadness and heartache each time the test came back negative. And then one cold December day it happened....The phone rang, I held my breath and I heard the most amazing words...."YOU'RE PREGNANT!"

Once I came down from cloud nine, the realization and morning sickness began. Three weeks into the pregnancy we found out that we were being blessed with twins. From the very start I knew I was having a Boy and a Girl. What could be more perfect?

Tonight, four years later, my boy and girl perform a "play" for my husband and I. At the end of the masterpiece, my little girl looks at me and says.... "Mommy, that was a thank you play for all the nice things you do for us."

I guess I was born to mother!
