My little one is growing up!!!


Hudgins went to the doctor today. He has a bit of a cold but he will be fine. He weighs... 11lbs, 6 oz now! I can't believe it. He is practicing his smiling and laughing. When he does this, he truly melts my heart. I can't wait to get a picture of him smiling. And he got his first pair of Osh'kosh overalls today from his mommy!

Our family went to the lake this weekend with Aunt Valerie and Uncle Eddie and friends. We had a great time. Great weather and good food! Hudgins sat on the dock in his new tent from Rachel. So cute! Gracie and Sophie are totally worn out from all the swimming!


Our family hopes all is doing well and come see us!

GI Test Results

I went to the GI doctor today and I have reflux esophagitis (sp). Go figure! I'm going to start taking a new medicine and all should be well. My wonderful mother-in-law took great care of myself and Hudgins today. She will be also be watching him for a lil bit tomorrow when I have my 1st of many interviews. I don't want to go back to work but need to. It will be hard to leave my lil guy with someone else but I'm bound and determined to find a good sitter!

to my momma!


I just want to say how wonderful you have been to me lately. What a joy it is to have my mom there to help me in my first days of mommy'ness. I hope I can be 1/2 the mom to Hudgins that you have been to me. Thanks for all your love and support and for always answering the phone... I love you! Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Early Mother's Day!



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 him 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 tomake 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.

Sick again...

Please keep me in your prayers. I have started throwing up again. I'm going to the GI doctor on Monday. Hopefully they will figure out what is wrong with me. I just want to be 100% again. I want energy!!! Thanks in advance for your prayers for my family.
