I feel there is no greater blessing than being a mom. I have the best mom in the world and I am very grateful every single day that I was blessed with her as my mother. She sacrificed so much for me and my siblings as we were growing up, and she still does. She sacrifices her time for me frequently esp while I am in school. She taught me well and I knew she always had/has a testimony of the gospel. She is such a wonderful being.
I love being a mom now. I did not enjoy it so much for the first 6 months of Kody's life. (don't judge). I wasn't ready in a way. I loved my little girl with all my heart, but I didn't love my role as a mom. I was tired, cranky- I couldn't do what I wanted to do; my baby was tired all the time and extra cranky, and I had a hard time making the adjustment. Now that i've made the adjustment I can't imagine life without my little girl. She is so beautiful, sweet, smart, and so funny. She can carry on a full conversation with us now and the things she talks about is hilarious. I keep a journal for her about her life and the milestones she's accomplished and whatnot. I also have one for all the funny things she says and does. That second one is for those days when I am about to explode and I need to read the things that make me laugh. One day she said to me "I have beautiful panties. they're yellow." And then she'll say to me quite often "I love you so much momma." and give me a big hug and kiss on my leg or cheek or where ever she's close to at that point. It melts my heart and shows me what motherhood is all about.
Never mind my sick bulging face. I just got done pushing for an hour and I had loads of IV fluid running through my veins. This is the day Kody was born. She was so small and sweet.
Here is my lil girl now. Or should I say big girl. She's almost 3. I love her so much my heart just swells with love and joy as I look into her sweet blue eyes and see that beautiful smile. (and I don't look so full in the face now )

I can NOT believe she's almost 3!! She's wonderful and you've taught her well! I think she just might be the only kid that I'll have over at my house without wondering if she'll teach my kids a bad habit. It's usually the other way around. (Sorry about that!) :)
Happy Mother's Day! You're an awesome Mom!!
I chuckled a little at your hospital picture. I thought I could tell you because we're friends like that. My face looks totally the same. Puffy. I'm like who's the girl? Oh yeah, me. Man, mom's really do sacrifice for their children. You do a great job. Don't forget that. We all have rough days but we're trying, right? Love you, Cousin.
Becky, your so funny. I totally don't judge you for having a hard time adjusting. It was really hard for me when I had my 2nd. And she still is really hard, but I do love her!! And Kody is so cute!! Isn't it AMAZING how fast they grow?!
