Deep Thoughts from a 3 Year old....

Last night while we were sitting on the couch just before bedtime.....

"Momma, who made our skin?"

"How do we grow?" "How do trees grow?" "How do cups grow?" "How did this couch grow?"

"Who made you and me and daddy?"

"Where's our blood?"

"Why do we have blood?"

Okay, so I think the baby in my belly is causing him to think a little too hard these days. And I don't think I'm qualified to answer half of these questions!

The Bakery Episode....

So after work yesterday Ivan and I made a trip to Harps Grocery Store and Bakery, which is our local grocery store. Ivan always likes to ride in the cart with the race care on the front, so he can pretend to drive as I stroll him around. This is usually why I like to go to this store, he stays entertained while I shop. That and they have Sanitizing wipes next to the carts so you can give them a wipe down. So anyway, this store has a really nice bakery with several cakes out for viewing in a cooler. Well I stroll up to look at the strawberries and pound cake, and Ivan starts screaming, "Look momma, stop, look at that!" He's spotted a really neat Disney Cars cake with the Lightning McQueen car on top and the whole Radiator Springs sceen on it. I said yea that's nice isn't it. So I continued to look though the strawberries when I heard an awful racket... "Don't worry momma I got it," he says.... I look up and he's got it alright, threw it over the side of the cart where it landed upside down.

I did not feel like buying a $20 cake that I would end up eating anyway! As afraid to as I was I flipped the cake over, gave it a good look and decided that it was still in good enough shape I shouldn't have to purchase it, checked to see if anyone was looking, then slipped it back into the cooler and took off. Is that wrong? It really wasn't in as bad of shape as I expected, luckily it had the clear plastic lid on the top, or it would have been a mess.

So I guess I've learned my lesson, and next time we'll just go to Wal-Mart where I can strap him in the top of the buggy!!

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 them 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.

Sorry I feel like I have soo much going on lately...

I guess I've just been too busy to post lately. I have alot to talk about from Ivan's birthday party to finding out about our new baby girl... I just don't like to blog unless I have pictures to go along with it, and I can't seem to find the time to sit down and deal with the pictures yet. Don't even have the Birthday party pics developed and there are some good ones, becuase Tara got ahold of my camera. It's funny, I can scroll through the pictures and tell which ones she took just by looking at them. I guess I just don't have as good of an eye for it.

Anyway.............

So we're having a BABY GIRL, for anyone who hasn't heard.... Aubree (something- no middle name yet), will be here in June!!!! We've just about finished her room I also need to post picture of it. It looks so cute, I'm very proud of it, and I'm sure it will be even better once Shirley gets the crib set made. We painted the walls lavender, and the fabric is lavender and green. I let Ivan paint 2 canvases the other night and we're going to hang them on the wall, he did a good job.

Ivan has been really lovey dovey lately, I'm not sure what's gotten into him but he's always telling us he loves us and how happy he is, and how much he loves the baby and he wants to play with her and eat pop tarts on the couch with her.... Hope this lasts..... I'm sure he'll be jealous though. He always wants to give her sugar at night time, and he likes to feel her kick.

Sooo........

Maybe I'll work on getting some pictures posted by the weekend!
