Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful mom's out there!!! We spent the day with our fantastic momma's and our families. We started at church, then to my Grandmas, and then to his MawMaw & PawPaws. It was a great "first" mother's day! Terry & Noah got me a gift certificate to Earth & Fire, so that when Noah gets here, we can go make something together! It was so sweet and I can't wait to get his little hand/feet prints onto some pottery! The whole day was wonderful! I absolutely cannot wait until next year's mother's day when I actually get to spend it with my little guy! We are 28 weeks (7 months along), so it won't be much longer! Boy, it is flying by!


Me & my wonderful Mom! I love you!!!


Sam, Daniel & PawPaw playing on the tractor! Sam was having so much fun!

I AGAIN got no pictures with his family. I am so bad about that!!!!!! With my family, everyone always has there camera out, so I always get pictures. His family hardly ever does, so I always forget to get mine out, BUT we had a great time there too!!! As a last note, I got this in an email and thought it was sweet enough to share! I can't wait to be able to say this! What a wonderful title "MOM" is...
  • Before I was a Mom, I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations.
  • Before I was a Mom, I had never been puked on. Pooped on. Chewed on. Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts. I slept all night.
  • Before I was a Mom, I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests. Or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.
  • Before I was a Mom, I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put her down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom.
  • Before I was a Mom, I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.
  • Before I was a Mom, I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom.
