Through her eyes.

So I can not begin to tell you all the amazing changes I have seen my daughter go though these last couple months, words will never be able to describe what I see through my eyes every day. It amazing and a blessing when you get to see every day the incredible dedication and love your daughter has for her baby. Katie is a strong person and has so much love for Noah that I am beginning to really see why heavenly father decided to place him here in Katie's arms. I think we all have this idea of what age a mother should be, but I'm starting to realize that Heavenly Father has no age just a plan for each and everyone of his children. I can honestly say and believe with all my heart that Katie is doing exactly what Heavenly Father would want and expect from her. He has given her so many blessings along with the right tools, Compassion for millions, strength for two, knowledge that excedes and plenty of room for her heart to grow. I was reading a blog of hers and it not only filled my eyes with tears, but my heart. I wanted to share it with you, let you see things through her eyes.

Lately things have been changing very drastically. Sitting behind me in his swing, sleeping, is the new edition to this world; Noah Cale. Also known as, my son. It was actually very unreal to me to find out I was pregnant back in October. Things started hay wiring, some people mad, some sad, some hopeful. I think all of that has passed and now the ones closets to me are very supportive. I do think I would've been more careful and waited to have kids until I was really ready. It's a hard task that no one and no babysitting job can prepare you for. But I would never take him back. It was a long and rough pregnancy and the labor was just the same. I don't care how old you are, having a baby is life changing, but in the same sense, the most amazing thing you can go through. I have never loved another so much in my life. I have never wanted so badly to never see anything bad happen to one person. I think that no matter what age you are, you can still be a GREAT mom and succeed even while everyone around you is waiting to see you fall on your face. This just makes me want to work harder than ever before to show everyone things can be accomplished even when it's not the easiest. It's a learning experience, whether you're 16 or 36. When you haven't had a baby of your own before, it's scary. You all of the sudden freeze up and aren't sure of how to even fasten a car seat! You're learning the ways of this new life, how to hold him, how to feed and burp him, how to comfort him, when to change him. (Trust me, that's a hard one. You've gotta wait for just the right moment other wise you'll be changing him again in 5 minutes!) I'm very thankful to have the best family that hasn't given up on me, that hasn't treated me as if I'm nothing now, and still encourages me. And I'm very lucky to have my sister who is actually more of a best friend! She's helped and inspired me this whole time! I don't think I could have made it through the pregnancy as well as I did without her! As for the rest of you guys, everyone at school, or even the ones who are strangers staring at me in the mall, I hope that I can still be looked at in the same way and not judged by everyone just for giving life to an innocent baby and for loving him more than anything else in the world! Here's to a new life and to sleepless nights!

I think we also sometimes forget that a baby does not know age only his mothers love.
