My first crawl.... Friday 18 Sep 2009

Could I be more proud of our Angel!!!

Dadda phoned me at work to tell me Granny phoned him all excited to say Jade crawled for the first time... my heart was so sad that I couldn't be there for the first crawl, but the sadness was quickly replaced with excitement!!! MY BABY STARTED TO CRAWL! What a big milestone!

On friday it was little crawls at a time then she had to rest, now she is all over the place...
We really have to watch her closely because before you know it she is on the other side of the room! :-)

Congratulations Jade, we love you soooooooooo much and we are so proud of you!

Photo's to follow soon....maybe even a video...watch this space! lol lol

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.

First Time Flower girl...
