Musing on motherhood

Love this quote:

Youth fades; love droops, the leaves of friendship fall; A mother’s secret hope outlives them all.
- Oliver Wendell Holmes

This means so much more with my impending motherhood. I wonder what hopes my mom had for my siblings and I. I imagine it changes with time. What hopes do I have for this little life growing inside of me? Right now? Be a healthy little fetus. Don't get too big and don't give me a hard time at birth. LOL...
