How does one prepare for parenting?

Reading books, taking classes…prayer!

All of the above is good, but I am not sure anything can really prepare you completely.

It would be great if kids came with operating instructions.

As our due date approaches the anticipation and excitement grows.

Are we really ready for this?

Still need to get the crib, changing table and room ready…but is that ready?

I interrogate every mother I meet…did you have an epidural? How long did you push? Did you breastfeed?

Motherhood is an awe inspiring and all-consuming job…which technically I have started on this journey months ago….as my little one grows inside my womb.

Will I be a good mother? Will I be prepared for all the challenges…questions…moments where my answers need to be correct?

Only by the grace of God…go I!
