I think I caught it :(

So I've been coughing all day.. I'm a little frustrated because we are leaving for Monticello tomorrow, to get family pictures taken this Saturday.. When I get sick with a cold, it usually turns into Bronchitis or something dumb.. I'm really hoping that the coughing will subside and that we can enjoy our weekend in Monticello! I'm so so excited to see my family :) I feel like it's been years since I've seen Ami and her little family.. It's only been since December, but for our family that is WAY to long.. We are very close and I wouldn't change it for the world! Baby Nicole is growing like a weed.. and is seriously the cutest thing ever! Alexis keeps asking when we get to go see Umpa, Bummy Ree, Aunt Kowy, Chad, Baby Cole, Unkie Derek, Ami, and Cocoa! So I'm glad we are going tomorrow! Anyways I really hope that this pounding headache will go away.. Wish me luck :)

"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."
