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.

We took another trip to fairmont hot springs again this year and had tons of fun. Kids seem to make everything so much more exciting and fun. Jayden loved playing in the pool. First thing when she woke up she asked to take a bath. haha The nice thing is there was no one in the pool that early so we got to hog it all. She is our little comedian right now. It is sure funny to see her little sense of humor come out!

BRRRRR
It has snowed so much the last couple of days so today Jayden and I helped Travis shovel. We got her all bundled up in a million layers. She seemed to like it... well for a while anyway. She is such a little helper she just wanted to push the shovel, that didn't make it more challenging at all. ;) haha After we were done we went inside and made cookies!

Three more months to go, although I may not look big to some I sure feel like a lot is being cramped in this body of mine. ;)

Every time I think she can't possibly be any cuter when she's sleeping she proves me wrong!
Gotta love those pig slippers, that's mommas girl! Though I may be the only one to openly admit it, I don't think I am the only one who enjoys watching baby Maggie. ;)

Travis always says that he hates his smile so his doesn't like to smile in pictures. However I love when someone catches him by surprise, because I don't think he could possibly be any more handsome!
