This ones for the daddys and husbands that make it possible to get through a day without pulling hair out or screaming obscenities at our children: we love you!!! You rock!!! Without you, we mommas would be lost (although that is the only time I will ever admit that).
This week has seemed like the never-ending whine fest at my house, and makenzie wasn't the only one doing the whining! Between the heat and early morning wake up calls from my sweet daughters room I was pretty, well......frazzled to say the least. I sat on the couch and cried a lot, haha, yup pretty pathetic it was. My darling daughter chose this week to be the one to set her internal clock for 5:30 am every single morning. My saving grace: my hubby. He selflessly would get up, get her milk and tv going and then come back to bed until she flagged him down for snuggle time. And when I could take no more and needed some time for myself, he without complaining, watched her and even sported her around town like a toy pooddle in a purse (well, not quite like that, but it sounded good). Three days in a row, this man dealt with our daughters incessent whining after work just so i could have a couple hours to myself. Those daddys that are willing to take care of us frazzled mommas are a godsend!!!! We love you and appreciate you guys!
Choosing to be happy
A 5 am wake up call from Makenzie screaming in her room to be let out is not my kind of morning. In fact, it downright puts this momma in a cranky mood. I am working on being positive and not letting a lack of sleep get to me through this pregnancy, because with a toddler I just don't have the energy to spend on being cranky haha! So despite my baby waking up early and refusing to take a nap anywhere but on my chest (believe me I tried putting her in her bed multiple times which resulted in screaming) I am choosing to be happy. Looking at this face all day who couldn't be happy?
So as I realized my cankiness was seeping through every crack and crevice of my being i decided it was time for makenzie and momma to pack up and take a trip to get some much needed diapers. On the way we stopped at the park and played until I refused to anymore because I didn't want pit stains down to my pants while i shopped at wal mart! Despite the cashier seriously messing up my order three times and Makenzie trying to climb out of the cart repeatedly, it was a good trip. We played, we napped on the way home (well, I didn't nap, as much as i wanted to) and the best of all I got to spend one on one time with my little girl. Life is too short to waste on being cranky.

To My Son
July 3, 2011 20 weeks
I haven't seen you yet, but I love you. I know the way you kick, and tumble around inside. I spend every second of my time with you, and yet I crave to know you more, to be able to hold your little body and snuggle your little cheeks. Oh how much I love you without even ever seeing you. If I could keep you little forever, I would. If I could hold you under my wing for as long as I lived, I would, but I cannot do those things but I will promise to do this: I will love you forever, as long as I live. No matter where you go, what you do, or how you do it, I will always love you. You will always be my baby boy. My prayer for you is that you learn to serve God the way He created you to; with all your strength, mind and body. He will be your one stronghold in life that you can lean on. Become a man of God who loves and follows the Lord, and everything else will fall into place.
Little boy, I haven't even held you yet, but I cannot wait to see you take your first breath and hear you cry your first cry. To hold you in my arms and rock you to sleep just because I can. I want to cherish every second with you because life is too short not to. Before I know it you will have grown up and made a life for yourself, but right now I'm going to live in this moment, and cherish the little kicks and wiggles you do. My son, please never forget how much I love you.
