As of today, I have been a mother for 1 year! Unlike most people that become mothers, my baby is now 2.5, and probably won't live with me forever.
Despite the eventual sadness of losing Miss Baby, I would not trade anything in the world for getting to have her in my life, even if it is only temporary. The suffering of years of infertility were totally worth it to have her be a part of my family. The absolute unfairness of the fact that she has lived with us for her entire memory and we are her family but she will still probably leave us is terrible. But (although I am taking it out of context) "it is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all".
She is such a fun little girl. She is sweet and nurturing, and although she does have a stubborn streak she is really learning to be polite and obedient. She loves to help with the baby and is always wrapping up her baby dolls and feeding them, and changing their diapers. She loves to color, and to read. She loves playing at the park and going ANYWHERE with Mama. Her favorite book is Octopus's Garden, and she loves to sing (or at least request that I sing) songs.
I am so blessed to have her in my life and this last year has been amazing. I am so thankful that God has made me a (mostly) "joyful mother".

He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children.
Praise ye the Lord!
