As of recently, I have been hit with extreme baby fever. Even though I am only nineteen, it should not diminish the fact that I cannot wait until I have one.

Regardless, I have my entire family to thank for my love for children. For as long as I can recall, I have always loved babies in my family (although I'm sure I was extremely jealous of my little sister because I went from being the baby to the infamous forgotten middle child).

Somewhere in my being a middle child, however, I managed to become as maternal as a friend could possibly be without being extremely pushy and un-fun.

Granted, as we grow older, we find ourselves acting more like our parents... well, usually. I have found that many of my friends can be very motherly or have their dad jokes and it's quite entertaining when we're all together.

But I digress. Lately, more than ever, so many of my friends have been calling me "Mom" and I am surprisingly beyond okay with it. I mean I have two cats and call myself a Cat Mom, I also identify as a mom friend.

It is kinda nice however that I have people that also look up to me and respect me while simultaneously trusting me with a secret as small as who they are currently crushing on or trusting me with their lives.

I have been blessed too though because while I am a mom friend, I am surrounded by fellow mom friends.

My group of friends likes to constantly lift each other up and make sure that regardless of what is going on in our lives, we ensure to "Mom" each other. When I've gotten sick a few times, my fellow mom friend Ena makes certain that I take Vitamin C, drink plenty of fluids, and take my medicine. She is the most mom when it pertains to health and I love it.

I'm not very mom-like when it comes to health but, when it comes to being supportive, I am your number one cheerleader. And when my friends need advice, they always call me first.

Without a fail, I am a total mom when it comes to being crafty or artsy--thank you Pinterest and your beautiful baking recipes that I get to feed all of my children without giving them food poisoning.

I remember everyone's birthdays and make sure, for the most part, that my friends know that they are loved and that they are so beyond important to me. It's integrated within 98% of moms to just care with their entire beings and I feel like sometimes I surpass that.

Moreover, I'm the friend that loves to take candid photos of her friends, but I'll also make you pose so I can get some nice photos to post on my Facebook because I adore you oh so much!

I'll never stop being a mom friend and I don't think my friends mind one bit.
