Being a Momma !

Just writing about being a mom is a emotional thing for me.  its a honor that i take real serious.  becoming a mom was not as easy for me, so i really try and not take for granted the gifts God has given me.  

i remember knowing from a very young age, that being a mom looked so cool.  i remember young couples at church bringing in new babies and i wanted to be them.   i also though young couples holding hands was very sweet and cute.  

 i was blessed enough to come from a long line of momma's that know how to love.  my granny harris died when i was real little, i don't have a memory of her however to this day, my nana crys every time she talks about her.  she loved her SO much and her love reflects through my nana.
Nana is the most selfless person in all the land.  she gives 100% of herself to her family.  she is most happy when she is taking care of someone she loves.
she is the picture of what the word "momma" means.  we are so blessed that her health allows her to love her kids, grand-kids, and great-grand-kids.
Nana your so special to me and i am so excited to let you love Houston, the way you love us.  i hope you always know how much we appreciate and love you.

 Then there is my momma, my biggest fan, best support, constant companion, and the person i am most like.   i watched her my whole life and the older i get the more i mimmic her.  We think, act, and have so many of the same traits.  she is the one i call in the middle of the night, the one i want sympathy from, the one that showed me how to be a mom.
We have endless amounts of memories together, we work like a well oiled machine most of the time.
mom- thank u for loving me when i was a hard pill to swallow, thank u for helping me when No one else would, thank u for molding me, setting a firm foundation for me.  your love and dedication to us girls has never wavered.  we are so blessed to have you as OUR mom.  your a constant support, and we are the girls we are bc of you.
Emrie and Houston are so lucky to have you as their granna.  i am excited to let you love our baby boy, FINALLY.   its been a long journey but you have been there for every shot, appointment, and procedure.  then every morning in the gym, and the whole pregnancy and now almost to the finish line.  i couldn't of made it without you.  nor can i make this next step into being a mom of two without ya.  i love you and want you to know that every day is mother's day to me bc i have you.

 My mother in law made the man i love into a perfect man.   she loves him with a endless amount of love.  she has been his constant through out life.  i don't think DIL and MIL relationships area always  the easiest but i have lots of respect for betty bc she did not have the best of circumstances but she never stopped being a good mom to Len.  i know she adores him, and i know that i will adore Houston the same way.  i pray that the girl Houston chooses will still share him with me.

Happy mother's Day to the three ladies that helped us become a family of 4 !!!!!
