Before I was a Mom I never learned the words to a lullaby. I never thought about immunizations. Before I was a Mom - I had never been puked on. Pooped on. Drooled on. Chewed on. Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts. I slept all night. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple little grin. I never sat up for hours watching a baby sleep. 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 that bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy. 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.

Taking Steps!!!

Just unbelievable to me! He took his first steps yesterday, it was the best thing I've ever seen. Thursday I found him in his crib, he had pulled himself up from his belly, which he could never do, onto his knees. He could only pull himself up if he was already sitting up. Friday I found him standing in his crib...as if this child didn't fight sleep already!! Then Saturday he started to walk w/o assistance. Now he's like all over the place! We're like, would you give us a minute to get use to this?!?! Today, I was cleaning in the kitchen and he was in the living room. His walking toy was in my bedroom against the wall. I went looking for him because he knows where I hide the damn thing. He had pulled himself up onto it & was strolling around my bedroom!!! HOLY COW!!!

Video to come!!
