Baby born on Father's Day :)

So I'm a couple days late.. But I do want to just make sure that I tell my dad and Jonathon Happy Father's Day! I love them both so much, and I'm so glad that my dad was the type of dad that would take us with him as often as possible to do all sorts of hiking, camping, fishing, and other fun stuff! I LOVE YOU DAD :) you are the best! Jonathon is the same way with Alexis.. He is such a great daddy and is always playing with Alexis and making her laugh :)

On another note I FINALLY got to see a baby be born! Yay! On Saturday night Jonathon's cousin Jamie went into labor. Her water broke while we were all hanging out, and so all of us girls jumped into the car and followed her to the hospital! We were there for 15 hours.. Yes I said 15 hours.. We slept on the floor, tables, and anything else we could find! We got there around 12:30 am. on Saturday and she had the baby at 3:56 the next day :) So even though we were there FOREVER.. it was well worth it! I'm so glad she let me in the room. It was so amazing! I had a C-section with Alexis so I never had the chance to see anything.. And then Kelly's room was to small so Keri and I didn't get to go in her room during her labor... So thank you Jamie!! She had a beautiful baby girl and they named her Vanessa Rose. Congrats to both Jamie and Dave!

* "Is my Happy Birthday coming?"
"I can't dance, I have a bandaid on."
* "Oh my gosh, it's not working!"
* "I want to sing my ABCDEFG's" instead of just ABC's
* "That's perfectly fine."
* "I can't do it, I'm to little."
*"What happened to me?"
*"I love you too much!"
While she was going potty... She said "I pushed the poop out!"
*Don't worry about me!
*Well what does that mean Mom?"
* I watch my ABC's mom, I watch my ABC's!
*Alexis - "Mom are you ok" Me - "I have a really bad headache." Alexis - "Don't die mom, okay."

*No way mom, now way..
*Jonathon says "What book do you want to read?" Alexis says "Let me think about it dad."
*"Daddy you a boy, shut door." as Jonathon was going to the bathroom.
*"I did it mom, it's all my fault."
*That's cool mom!

"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."
