As your mother, I know how lucky Jasmine is going to be and I’m sure your friends with kids would agree with me (you’ve been a modern Auntie Vi with their children). You’ve talked about baking cookies for the neighborhood children, babysitting for friends, including the children when inviting their parents to your home, loving your nieces and nephew many miles away. You are loaded with love to share and I couldn’t be more sure that you'll be a phenomenal mother.
Now, aside from that, to have children, Hillary is right - it takes a village! I thought I was familiar with the rearing of children since I had all these nieces and nephew, but I was mighty surprised. I was uptight whenever John sneezed, cried too long or spit up - that passes with time and more kids ;). I needed family and friends to keep me afloat. Keep us in the loop!
You’re very lucky to have the friends you have (and family at a distance) to help you through your first experience, and especially lucky to have Jason who’s taking his role as daddy seriously. I’m sure you’ll be getting many tips from mothers who have had more recent experience than me, but I do want you to know how proud and happy I am of you and can’t wait to see and love this little granddaughter of mine!!!
