A BOY IS

TRUTH with dirt on his face,

BEAUTY with a cut on his finger,

WISDOM with bubble gum in his hair,

and theHOPE of the future with a
frog in his pocket.

LITTLE GIRLS

Little girls are made of daisies and butterflies and soft kitty cat purrs

And all the precious memories of times that once were.

Little girls are made of angel's wings and giggles and a firefly's glow

And all the happy feelings, deep inside, that we all know.

Little girls are made of cinnamon and bubbles and fancy white pearls

And snowflakes and rainbows and ballerina twirls.

Little girls are made of sunshine and cupcakes and fresh morning dew,

And these are the reasons, little one, why everyone loves you.

Blessed

I am so blessed. Just look at my beautiful boys.

I was sitting here tonight and thinking how blessed I was and how I would do anything for my precious gifts. I was thinking of baby W growing in my belly. How I took 332 pills (not counting prenatal vitamins or folic acid), 148 shots, 83 tampons of cream, 21 patches, surgery, procedures. I thought of how much I love this little man and with every kick how excited I am to meet this new little miracle.

Motherhood is hard, getting pregnant is hard, raising children is hard. But it is the most amazing gift I have ever been given!
