Our Sweet Little Girls' Blessing Day! September 7, 2008
Sunday was Lilly's blessing down in Arizona. Josh did such a wonderful job and bore such a sweet testimony afterward. I am so lucky to be married to such an awesome man! He is the best husband and the best dad and we have so much fun together. There isn't anyone I would rather be with in my whole wide world! Lilly looked so beautiful in her gorgeous dress that my mom made for her, and everyone had such a fun time holding her and loving all over her. We had a lunch at our house after and we all had a fun time visiting together. We love our little girl so much and can't imagine what life was like before her grand arrival. More pictures of her in this dress are to come!

Before I was a 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 that 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.
She looks like an angel... sounds like it all went well!
She is absolutely beautiful Nat! Can I just say I am a terrible friend, I am so sorry! You left it up to me to keep in touch with you and I haven't done a good job of that! I have been thinking about you a lot lately and figured I better find a way to get in touch. I was almost in tears when I saw your baby and how happy you guys look! I am so excited I found you :)
Hey Natalie,
I think it would be really fun to get some shots of your little one. She is beautiful, by the way. Where do you live? Do you want them taken at your home or on location? Drop me an e-mail and we can chat. I'm cheri@cherimagill.com.
She is such a beautiful baby!!! I love her cute dress too!!
Oh my gosh -- her dress is beautiful!! I'm so glad it was a good occasion for you guys!
