On becoming mom

I'm about to become someone's mother. Inside, my growing daughter is readying herself to meet the world-completely naive to the fact that I have yet to get my life together. But that's the beauty of it, I suppose...bittersweet as it is, she doesn't care that I don't have my life together. She's just going to come on out and expect that my life is all about her now. And it will be. Even now my life revolves around her. I can't imagine what life is going to be like when she's in my arms, and not just in my belly and in my dreams.
