Happy Veteran's Day 2010.

I can not express my gratitude enough to the men and women who have served or are serving in our military - All to protect the freedom we all enjoy!

Someone sent me a text this morning- ( not sure who as I dont know the number...) telling me thankyou for the sacrifice that I make as a military spouse. A year ago I would have shrugged this off as I dont do anything, my husband was stationed in America, had never been anywhere, and at that point was not going anywhere. I was not having to make any sacrifices... what my husband worked a "job" like any other spouse... I guess what I am saying is this year I truly feel the sacrifices that we have to make as a family. But this has only made me stronger... It has only made my relationship with my husband that much sweeter.

I cant wait till my daughters can tell their father how thankful they are that he is making sacrifices for them!

I love you Nick Pomeroy and thank you again ( i know I say it a lot...) for all that you do!

What I have learned...

- I am a lot stronger than I give myself credit for.
- I am a great mom even when I dont believe in myself.
- I have an amazing husband, who I will proudly stand next to even when I want to crumble.
- I have a pretty great support system.
- I have the most amazing daughter... She continues to surprise me even when I think she is done surprising me.


I have learned a few other things... about myself and what I am capable of doing.

But most of all here is to the rest of this week may it be quiet!

31 weeks 5 days...

Holy COW I made it- assuming I make it to midnight tonight!

Taylor Ann came at 31 weeks and 5 days - I woke up this morning crying realizing I had made it to 31 weeks and 6 days... I have an amazing OB who has controlled my BP enough to allow Addyson to stay inside for as long as possible.

But let me assure you it has not been an easy road to get to this point. I have battled my bp with the meds, had contractions, and most of all my husband is over 5000 miles away in another country and I am taking care of an 18 month old ( who thankfully is not a handful.)

We got this and I am so ready to make it all the way to 37 weeks!!!!!

Love me for me...

This morning I was listening to JJ heller when her new song came on Love me... I stopped and listened to the lyrics closely the chorus talks about who will love me for me and not what I have become... I think this speaks volumes as at the end of the song the chorus changes to I will love you for you and for what you have become.

I got to thinking how this is true for the unconditional love of your children. As some of you know as I mentioned in previous blog posts I was a horrible teenager... Horrible, I treated mum like she was the worst thing that had ever happened in my life... when at the time I didnt realize that I was blaming her for my moms death and I needed to come to terms with that .... Im so thankfult now Mum and I have a great relationship. But if she wouldnt have loved me for me and for what I was becoming then where would she be today? She had that unconditional love for me the same as our heavenly father has for us!

I know that there is nothing absolutly nothing that either of my girls could ever do to break the Love I have for them both. Im so thankful today!! Needed to hear this song!

I can see MOM.

Look at my new glasses!!! I was so excited to finally be able to see that I kept them on for 3 hours straight!

She is doing great! Her reaction when she realized she could see ten times better was priceless. An Ah thankyou came out of her mouth and a HUGE smile. Makes my heart melt everytime I think of it!

She looks so grown up with her glasses and I think we will give her the nickname professor Taylor. Ah gorgeous!

alright thats all for now!!

More later!!

Peace

31 WEEKS

Whew I made it so far... Taylor came at 31 weeks and 5 days... I plan on making it past that this time...

But granted I have that dreaded fear that Addyson is going to try and make her debut a little earlier than we want her to. :( But its life we will make it and Nick will be home in december for at least 10 days... oh how I miss him!

I cant believe that there is only 6 weeks left to go! Addyson will be here before we know it and I am more than ready to take on a new challenge!!!

Bring it on!!!
