INFO:
There was a time when I was a mother of one. We were a family of three. It was just us against the world. When I found out I was pregnant with our second, I had so much guilt inside me. Our perfect trio was coming to an end as we added another member to the group. The day I went into labor with our second, I cried to Scarlett and told her I was sad it wouldn’t just be us anymore. At only three years old, she wiped my tears, hugged me and told me “it’s okay to be sad, mom.” After years of me taking care of her, the roles reversed for that moment, and she took care of me. Since becoming a big sister, she has willingly taken on the role of my mini helper and honestly acts as a second mother at times. As a first born child myself, I see so much of myself in her and I’m so grateful I was blessed with someone like her to call my daughter. She has been asking for another sibling for quite some time and the moment I found out I was pregnant again, I knew I wanted her to be the first in our house to find out. I’m so excited to have her by my side through this journey and I’m so thankful I was able to capture this special moment between us. Although it may no longer just be us and our little trio, there will always be a special place for you and me 🖤
