A post about being a stepmom

So I was thinking that since this blog is called " the positive stepmom" I thought I should actually do a post on being a stepmom,Go figure:)
   I am a stepmom to my husband's son. I do not have any biological children. I am what is known in the blog world as a "childless stepmom"(it's true,just look it up). My hubby and i waiting for a little while longer before we start expanding our family. So until we are blessed to add some little darlings to our family, What is a stepmom to do?
1> Stay positive and remain focused on making a happy home and family
2> Allow yourself to have maternal feelings. For me, I have to do this. If start to deny those natural feelings it breaks my heart and makes me feel miserable.
3>Ask yourself "if this was my child-what would I do"? Granted I am fortunate to have a little guy who does want me in his life and we have a good relationship. I know there are people with situations out there that are not able to have that. With that said I realized an area where i could improve. If this little guy was "mine" I would have totally decorated his room by now. I realized that i needed to give him something that he didn't have, a place  that showed him how much he is loved. His room is typical 6-yr olds,toys, books, trains-but what about motherly touches? I found some really cute curtains that have cars and trucks embroidered on them and put those up in his room. When he saw them he so sweetly touched them and asked-"are those for me? I really like them". It really made me happy to see him light up like that.
 So if you are struggling with not knowing what to do. go with your instinct and trust that you are doing what is best for your family. Rely on your hubby for support and guidance and you will do just fine. But above all stay positive!!!
