My daughter is six years old now. Before she came into my life, I was scared and uncertain at the same time. As a first-time parent, I found myself thrown into the deep end because there was a baby to take care of.
I was more or less prepared because I had done my research before my baby was born. I was surprised to discover a lot of information about parenthood on the Internet and special parenting books.
I knew nothing could prepare me for the actual arrival of the baby and the emotional and physical roller coaster I would go through in the first few months of my baby's life but nevertheless I was prepared to take on the challenge.
When my daughter came into my life, it was wonderful and magical. I enjoyed my time with my baby during my maternity leave. Now, when I think back on that time, I realise it was one of the very best moments we've spent together.
