Thanksgiving & John Davis's 1/2 Birthday






November 22 was a great day! Keith and I took John Davis over to Granny and Papa's lodge on the farm, and we ate a terrific Thanksgiving meal. Most of Keith's large family was there. Afterwards, we celebrated John Davis's 1/2 birthday. No, I did not bake the cake, but I did decorate it! Our cousin's Amy and Lindsay even sang" Happy Birthday!" Well, you could say they attempted to sing it...joyfully! It was a treat! I can not believe that 6 months ago our precious angel was born. What a wonderful present from God! We are thankful for our family, our health, our salvation and our home!

Before I was a Mom.....

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 ne ver held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put him/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.
