"Parent" still isn’t a word I can use to comfortably describe myself. It really hasn’t technically happened yet but being a few days off from becoming a "parent" feels a little surreal. I mean, My mom is a "parent"! "Parents" have toddlers to chase after or teenagers to keep an eye on. "Parents" get up early on a Saturday morning for hockey practice. "Parents" help their kids with their homework. "Parents" offer unsolicited advice. "Parents" never really fall asleep when their kid is out at night. "Parents" are a shoulder to cry on after a skinned knee or a broken heart. "Parents" change poopy diapers. “Parents” are the ride into school after a missed bus. "Parents" sacrifice everything and would do anything for their kids - no matter what and no matter when. "Parents" are unconditional love.
Y’know, I may not be a parent yet…but I can’t wait to become one!

I just want to say something someone older and wiser told me when I was pregnant with my first daughter who is now 20 years old: Your life will never be the same... and it's wonderful.
