I'm not a mother, yet, but I'm just as protective of my 2 younger sisters. One is 16 and the other is 12.

I remember the older one coming to me one morning with her bed sheet in her hands when she was 13, covered in blood.

"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS THIS!" She screamed.

I gave her the talk, and some "things" (she still calls them that), and she was fine.

I still remember when the youngest was about 3, she was allergic to milk and wasn't allowed those little pot shot yogurts. I remember my mother catching her at the fridge, surrounded by empty pots, covered in yogurt.

"Stacey, what are you doing?"
"Me, mam? Nithing mam" (North east of wscotland accent here)
"What's that on your face?"
"Nae wogurt, mam."
"You sure?"
"Me nae eat wogurt, mam, me nae loud wogurt."

She was so sweet, a mop og strawberry blonde curls, big blue eyes.

my mother told me a few months ago she'd started her period. Painful periods seem to run in our family, so I got the kettle on, hot water bottle & a cuppa for her. I went into her room, and here she is, crying her big blue eyes out in pain.

"I don't want to grow up, I don't want to be a woman. Roll on the menopause."

I was horrified, where had my wogurt stealing baby sister gone?

Mine went thru that already too. She has painful ones also. Last nite my 14 year old daughter laid on the bed with me and played around letting me do all those silly lttle things to her that used to make her smile and giggle and put goosebumps on her legs. Sang her songs that I sung to her as a baby. She loved it and so did I. I think we both needed it.
She still calls me Mommy. :)

Congradulation to you Cheyanne

I think I start to have this type of feeling now a day. I am close to wanting to have my own baby. :rolleyes:

That is so excellent! Moments to cherish... very special moments. :D

Thank you CP...from your posts I believe that you will be a very loving mom. When you do have your baby - cherish every moment for they are fleeting.
