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 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 .

so, we've had a busy few weeks! It seems like we're in utah every one of Anthonys days off, and we''ll be going back this next weekend for one of my family reunions! Harper is doing so much! He rolls ALL over the place! The other day i was doing dishes, and i had him in the living room, when i looked to check on him i couldnt see him. He had rolled and scooted to the other side of the house to my room! He loves to sit up by himself, he sometimes has some issues with it but he works it out! He loves to talk and is saying DADA MaMA! its fun! Sometimes, when i wake up, ill hear him on the baby monitor and it sounds like hes singing! Everyone complaments him saying hes so happy, it could make them want them to have a baby! He really is happy all the time! Its so great! We are so blessed! Anyways, his hair got so long on the top and sides we had to give him a summer hair cut! He looks so cute! I dont think his hair has ever been this short before! Anthony thinks he looks silly, but we like it and i think he does too! no more hair in his eyes!





crazy hair after he woke up!

At the park playin around!

Hes So happy! we just love him!

Cousin Shane is a white sox fan, and Harper is of course a cubies fan!
