Thank You!

Just a quick post to tell everyone thank you so much for all of the wonderful emails that Wes and I have received in light of our recent news! We are truly blessed to have such a wonderful family, we hope you all had a great weekend!

Our weekend was pretty low key. Baby O decided to trick Mommy in thinking she was completely over morning sickness...Nope! Surprise! I guess this is just the first lesson in parenting, always be on your toes and get ready for some surprises! We did catch the new Marley and Me flick at the movies; very cute, especially if you are an animal lover. But bring the tissues!

I just stumbled upon this a few weeks ago when going back through my old files and thought you guys might think it was cute too.

Twenty Things That Change when you become a Mother

4. You're less self-involved and more self-motivated.
5. The sacrifices you thought you made to have a child no longer seem like sacrifices.

12. Your heart breaks much more easily.
