I will never forget the exact moment I found out I was expecting my first child. I was 20 years old, not married, a party girl who had just gotten back from New Orleans and I was in complete shock. I was terrified. When I walked out of the bathroom holding that stick, my face must have given me away because my boyfriend knew the answer before I could utter the words.
I am going to be brutally honest and admit that the thought of aborting crossed my mind. I just didn't know how in the world I, Jessica Renee McGlothin, was supposed to be a mom. I wasn't ready, it wasn't planned, I felt trapped. The decision to keep my baby is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I got married, grew up, settled down and on February 28th, 2008 I gave birth to a perfect blonde haired, blue eyed flawless baby girl. The moment I saw my daughter I knew I would never, ever be the same. She consumed me, in the best way possible. I knew right then and there that that was what I was created for. My calling was to be a mother and since that day I have never looked back.
My sweet little miracle baby is now five years old and blossoming into the most beautiful, intelligent, funny, feisty, caring, affectionate, considerate little lady. When I look at her I feel so many emotions. I feel blessed, I feel proud, I feel grateful. That little person changed my life and there will never be a day that passes that I won't thank God for entrusting her to me. Happy birthday to one of the true loves of my life. I am so incredibly proud to be your mother.
