Hi, my name is Jessica and my son is Maximus, he is 2 years old and he is so
special. I never thought I would have children as I'd always said I was too
selfish. Having suffered with depression and an eating disorder since the age of
16, being pregnant was very difficult for me. When Maximus was born, everything
changed, I felt like I no longer had any control over anything and suddenly this
little person in my care had to come first, he was now my life. It took me a
while to get into motherhood, but now I feel like I'm finally there. I want to
enjoy him as much as I can every day before he grows up. Being a mum has made me
stronger. Maximus makes me laugh so much, little things he does, a look he'll
give me or an expression. I know there's so much more going on in that mind of
his than I realise... my only worry is that he might actually be smarter than me
already. I am thankful every day to have him in my life.
