My family used to think I was nuts referring to JoJo as "my baby". But recently my mom was noticing how attached he is to me and said "he's always gotta be with his mommy", so I think she's finally getting it lol.
They are living, breathing creatures with a beating heart, just like us. They are no less worthy of our love than another human. I may not be a "mother" in the traditional sense, but in my heart I am a mother to my little guy.
The people who put a smile on my face and make me feel really good about myself are those who tell me that based on how I treat and take care of JoJo, that I'll make a wonderful mother when I do have skin-kids. Comments like these far outweigh those negative comments about how weird I am treating him like he were a real baby.
