YUBA LAKE!!

This last weekend we went to yuba lake with Josh's family, we had a ton of fun...Josh's cousins friends came out with us and brought their boat, we had so much fun on it, thanks Aaron and Emily for letting us hang out on your boat, the kids had so much fun. My camera wasn't working all that great so my pictures didn't turn out all that good...but here are a few.

BEFORE I WAS A MOM!!!

Before I was a mom..I cooked and ate hot meals, I wore unstained clothing, brushed my hair and teeth everyday, and I had quiet conversations on the phone. Before I was a mom..My house stayed clean for days after I cleaned it, I didn't worry if my plants were poisonous, and I never tripped over toys, color book, or piles of shoes. Before I was a mom.. I have never been puked on, pooped on, drooled on, chewed on, peed on, or pinched by tiny fingers. I Had complete control of my mind and my thoughts. I always got a full night's sleep. Before I was a mom.. I never held down a screaming child so that doctors could do test or give shots. I Never looked into teary eyes and cried. I Never felt my heart brake into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. Before I was a mom.. I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put him down. I never felt gloriously happy over a simple grin, and I never knew that I could love someone so much. Before I was a mom.. I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside of my body. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby, and I didn't know that bond between Mother and her child. Before I was a mom.. I didn't know someone so small could make me feel so important. I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, and the happiness of being a mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much... Before I was a Mom.
