Congratulations in advance on the birth of your child. Nobody knows how to raise a child until they do. It’s extremely challenging (even more so as a single parent) but incredibly rewarding. I’m a dad and the first time I was left alone with my first child just for the evening I was a wreck! Mom had to leave instructions all over the house for me. Somehow my son and I both survived and I learned from that and every other success and perceived failure. You’re going to make mistakes like every other parent. But you are going to be a great Mom because you really want to be....that comes through so clearly in your post. Lucky kid!
