So my sister emailed me this picture of me at Grants baby blessing. It was taken of me almost two years ago and I had NO IDEA someone was taking a picture of me. Abby laughed soo hard she had to send it to me and when I saw it I laughed just as hard and then I wanted to cry because I remember how I felt that day. It was probably one of the most stressful days I can remember for a number of reasons. One, being it was the first time I have ever "hosted" a get together at my house with food, guests, decor, etc. Second, family and friends were in town and staying at our house which requires hosting and being "nice." Third, I was sleeping an average of 4 hours a night. And fourth, it was an emotional day filled with 9am church, a beautiful blessing, and a newborn being contaminated going to a church full of sick people (or though that's how I pictured it then:).
Anyway this picture contains all of that emotion that I was feeling on that day. It makes me laugh. It makes me realize not only how much Grant has grown and developed into this wonderful toddler, but also how much I have grown as a person. I have changed from a scared new mom to be, to a (little) more confident mom and person. I was soo nervous I wasn't doing everything "right" and I knew I was doing something "wrong." Wow it's amazing how children change us sooo quickly. I can't imagine my life without Grant. He has taught me sooo much. So now enjoy this very embarrassing picture and don't judge me too harshly:)

i laugh, because i can. and because i feel the same way right now! it's 4 am after 2 hours of trying to get him asleep i am wide awake.
Funny, because I was going to say the same thing Rebecca said. I still feel the way you look in that picture! Why won't my 9 month old just sleep???
I love it! You are a great mom and I can't wait to meet this new little munchkin! Love you!
That is too funny! Honestly thats how we all felt but you're the only one brave enough to post a pic of it. Hang in there, hopefully it will let up or I guess this short span of time that feels like forever when you're in the moment, will only last a short time. then our babies will be grown up and we'll miss this, strange enough! Hey my blog is private now so email me markandlisaelder@yahoo.com so i can give you an invite.

Hahaha Audrey you are so funny. Hope you are feeling better and not so tired!
Ha- Love the picture! That's how we all feel at the beginning- so I'm glad you actually got a picture of it! Let me know if you do a book like the one I made. I do love it- but there's some things that you'd want to know if you do it. Let me know!
Too funny! I remember those crazy days...weeks...months, at the beginning. Pretty much complete hell with a couple of pleasant moments. It is going to be better for you with this next one. Basically because it can't get much worse than it was with Grant, right?!? :) You went through a lot. I think the best part of this next one will be knowing that the torture is temporary, and they turn out to be pretty dang fun and adorable!!!
