These are not my words but something i found and used as a caption on Instagram last year.
I just love it so much & so i felt the need to share it here with you.
Also this time last year I had yet to qualify for any of these categories,
i simply posted it in honor of all the woman i knew who did.
This year I can fully relate to not one but 2 categories.
I am an Angel Mom & Pregnant with our rainbow baby due so so soon
I know that motherhood doesn't always look exactly i always thought it would but that is what makes it all the more beautiful.
