My First Mother's Day

Since I became a mom I...

... have learned how to survive on less than 3 hours of sleep

...rejoice at the appearance of teeth

... can cook, talk on the phone and sway with a baby on my hip

... have become a song writer-just whatever fits the mood to calm a crying baby

...learned how to get a shower in 5 minutes all while praying that the baby stays asleep

...have taken more rectal temperatures than I ever wanted to

...have learned to love the Lord more that I thought possible

...have lost all control of my "picture perfect" life

...became an actress- I will do anything to make that boy smile

...have realized that I'm not #1

...have kissed chubby cheeks more than any annoying aunt in the world

...have prayed daily for the well-being of my baby

...am humbled beyond belief

...have been blessed more than I could express
