Hate to admit it, but I found this on myspace
Before I was a Mom I never learned the words to a lullaby.
I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mom - I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Drooled on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
I slept all night.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple little grin.
I never sat up for hours watching a baby sleep.
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 that bond between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.
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

Three Weeks Old
A family friend recently took some beautiful photos of our boy, enjoy! There are many more I can email if you're interested :)
We are loving every minute of being parents. Sometimes the smiles come after the tears(from mommy that is), but we are learning and growing into a beautiful family. I can't believe how fast the time flies. There are moments I want to pause or replay everyday. We are headed down Cali this week and hope to see as many of you as possible and looks like we may be down again next month for a quick trip to slo. Rylan is an amazing gift and I want nothing short of perfection for his little life, unrealistic I know, but as any mother can atest your child's life is more precious than your own. There is nothing I wouldn't do so that he would not have to feel pain, discomfort, disappointment, heartache,etc...It is going to be so hard to watch him learn hard lessons and struggle, needless to say, I have a new apperciation and understanding of my parents. Thank you mom and dad, I can't even imagine what I would be like without you. I am BLESSED!
