Motherhood

I long for very few things as I do for motherhood… I want to be a mother. I want to hold my baby in my arms, the child I have carried in my womb and fed through my blood. The child I have felt stirring inside me, the child I have dreamed of for years... My baby. I want to hold her in my arms and watch her little face as she sleeps soundly. I want to hold her tiny hands and feel her little fingers curl around mine. I want to see her smile in sleep. I want to cherish the moment I hold her for the first time, tears of joy in my eyes, and I want to look up and see the tears in my husband's eyes as we hold our baby for the first time, the child born out of our love.
