Okay, so I gave birth to my daughter a month early due to some complications during my pregnancy. She only had to stay in the hospital for like a week after I had her. I was just visiting one day.. not knowing or thinking they we’re going to say that I could take her home. But they did say it! So, I was freaking out inside. Excited but nervous. She was like 4 pounds 6 ounces. I was like I don’t wanna hurt her. The reality set in that this is my baby.. I’m her mom and she’s my responsibility lol.

Mind you I’m only 20 years old at the time. That first night I was scared shitless lol. If I thought I heard a noise I would jump up and run to her. She was fine and I adjusted to motherhood and her size almost instantly. She’s 17 now and about to graduate from high school and she’s still scaring the hell out of me at times lol. Teenagers are so unpredictable. But she’s growing into an amazing young woman.. I did a great job with her. Proud Mom Over Here.
