Happy Mother's Day!!

I've never really knew how special this day was until I realized that next year I would be celebrating. It's a day to celebrate the little miracles you brought into the world; a chance to thank your mother for all the things she did because now you know what she went through. Although I'm not technically a mother yet, I sure do feel like one.

Yesterday we went up to Oklahoma City to take Shawn's mother out to lunch and tell her the big news. I had found a poem on the internet that was really sweet. I wrote it out on a card for her. We gave her the card and I don't think she got through the whole thing without saying "We're gonna have a baby!" She was so happy. We then spent the next hour or so calling everyone in his family and my dad. Everyone is so supportive and happy for us.

This is the poem I found:

I do not have a face to see,
or put inside a frame.

I do not have soft cheeks to kiss;
I don't yet have a name.

You can't hold my tiny hands,
nor whisper in my ear.
It's still too soon to sing a song,
or cuddle me so near.

But all will change come November 25th,
when they say I'm due.
I'm your new grandson or granddaughter;
I can't wait till I meet you.

All I ask between now and then
is your patience while I grow.
I promise I'll be worth the wait,
because of all the love we'll know.

So as you're waiting patiently,
please pray lots of prayers for me.
I cannot wait to be a part
of this wonderful family!
