This is such a sweet post. I can’t say how ready you are or not, I only can say that somehow none of us is ready, and that becoming a parent makes you both more strong and weaker than you thought you could be. Also parenthood can’t really be planned. It’ll all turn out as it should.

Your jealousy is normal and it is you inching towards readiness. And when you get there – and I suspect you may already be there – you will be a wonderful mother.

You are ready, you are. Who am I to assume such a thing? I don’t know. It’s just something I feel.

What a lovely story.
When you are ready you will know. Actually you will know when you start to wonder if you are ready. You can’t ever really be ready.

P.S. That of course, was just my bossy opinion.

Someday you will be ready. The baby showers are brutal when you are feeling like this. Take care of yourself. Don’t go. Send a gift if you need to, but don’t put yourself in that sad place deliberately.

No one is ever ready. And jealousy is totally normal. I use to feel that way myself.

You will be ready when the time is right. I promise. What a wonderful thing you did for that girl. Just shows that you are more than capable of caring for another person in need. Sounds like a great mother.
