Today I’m participating in Mama Kat writing prompts. The prompt I chose was to write about a moment when I realized I was grown up.

No other day could have brought that to reality than the day my daughter was born. My husband and I had been married for approximately 3 months when we found out our little lady had come into our lives. Sure you have about 9 months to prepare but nothing prepares you for the moment your baby has actually arrived and are in your arms.
The day my daughter arrived I was so happy and so scared. I looked into her eyes and wondered how The Husband and I were going to do this. How are we going to keep this precious girl of ours safe? However I knew that both of us would give our lives for her. Then 20 months later looking in my son’s eyes it became how are we going to keep two of them safe. I know all we can do is do the best that we can and raise them the best way we know how. But the question is always in the back of my head are we raising them right? Do they know that we love them?
As I look at my kids now they are both teenagers who have been in no major trouble besides being kids. They have great grades in school. They have great manners and are well behaved. When I think about it I can definitely say that I have some amazing children. I can’t wait to see them grow up to be whomever they choose to be. But I will always be afraid as to whether or not they are getting everything that they need. I always wonder how I’m going to keep these two little humans safe.
When did you realize you were a grown up?
