SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!

These are some pictures that my friend took for their achievement days activity.
M'Tali is growing up to be such a beautiful young lady, it's hard to believe that in just a few short weeks she will be going into Young Women's. She is such an amazing, beautiful daughter!!!!

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.
