Meet my god daughter, her first ever 3D picture is up top there. Her mom and I have been friends less than a year but I was honored when she asked me to be the godmother. There aren’t very strong ties in my family and that is something I find myself missing a lot right now. My fiance and I also don’t have kids yet but I’m getting to that want to be a mommy stage (don’t worry, we’ll have one in a couple years). So, I’m very excited.
I’m also determined to be a better godmother than my god parents were to me. My godfather never really played a part in my life at all. He was off in graduate and doctoral school by the time I was 3 and only came back for holidays. To this day I can count the number of times I’ve seen him. He lived in Switzerland for years and now lives somewhere on the East Coast. As far as I’m concerned – he was always absorbed with getting his career somewhere and working for NASA, he was never worried about me. My godmother did quite a bit better, up until I was 11.
Then my aunt and mom got in a fight and my mom cut off contact from her family. My godmother never tried to keep in touch with me, never sent cards, etc. I didn’t see her again until I was 21. Recently, we got in touch again and we are supposed to get together for dinner in a couple weeks. I never want to not be a part of my god daughter’s life for any reason. I plan to spoil her rotten. I’m already thinking of what things to buy her and everything else. Just 3 months until I get to meet her, I need to start planning that baby shower!

Oh, how fun!!! Congratulations on the godmother role as well!!
Congrats ! to both you as a new godmom and the mother of this child.
It is an honor to be a godmom , isnt it?
Godmom is not a popular trend here.
However, in the past, my mom had a godmom of her own.
She was a kind lady, always inviting her over dinner, group prayers and gave her a Holy Bible, the new and old testament, hoping for my mom to become a stronger person.
Godmom is alike an aunt to the child. Not just see once in a while and disappear in the wind.
I had a godfather but he disappeared too. So, I find godparents should be chosen carefully.
Do have fun for this baby shower
I felt the same way when my brother and sister had their oen kids. I mean, I never realized that the kids' birth would be a great deal. But when they were born, I feel like their own mom and I don't love them differently from my oen kids.
I find it interesting to act as godfather when I was still working at the bank. One of the bank's borrower had invited me to stand as a godfather for his first son. Since we were a good friend, I never denied the request. As I held my godson with my right hand for a picture taking, I was very happy to realize how important to share with other's parental burden with my friend. As far as I could remember it was sometime in 1975. Wow! It was already 41 years ago. So my godson has already his own wife, family to raise.
Congratulations on being a god mother. It's so nice to see the baby, even in the womb, we can tell how cute she is. I can understand your excitement. Everytime when I heard others having baby, I am excited for them too, even though I do not know them. Bringing baby to the world is such a joy!
Sorry to hear about your relationship with your god parents. Let it stay in the past, and move forward, and hope you'll enjoy spending your time, establishing the relationship with your god daughter. I am sure she will treasure it!
I do not have any god parents or children, though I wished to have a chance to take care of my elder brother's children first, he hasn't get married until now, and my elder son was my first experience taking care of a child. I really enjoy being a mother and taking care of children. I knew this even before I was married or even before I met my husband. I just love taking care of kids. Glad that I didn't spoil my children, as many people thought I would. :D
