Happy Mother's Day!

I hope we didn't disturb you all TOO MUCH with our last post! It was all done in good fun and semi-good taste!We noticed that many of you who visited our blog DID NOT comment - you may have been creeped out! Sorry, if that was the case! No, Brett's stomach is not normally that way - we feed him well, but not THAT well!! My little brother, Clark, has this same "talent" and as kids we called it "baby alien"!

Happy Mother's Day to my Mommy (Deb) and Momma Midge (Brett's mom). They are both amazing women who we LOVE very much!

Also, Happy Mother's Day to our sisters and sisters-in-law who are outstanding mothers! Thanks for your examples! I'm glad you will all be around when I have kids - I'll need all of the help and advice I can get! We love you!

Happy Mother's Day to all of my dear friends and family members out there who are posting new ultra sound pictures, belly shots, and new baby photos. CONGRATS on the adventures ahead! And to the rest of you amazing moms out there who are daily caring for and loving you children - HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

When I was young I was given this little poem and I have always thought it is really cute!

A CHILD'S ANGEL

Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born.
So one day he asked God:
"They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow,
but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"

"Among the many angels, I chose one for you.
She will be waiting for you and will take care of you."


"But tell me, here in Heaven, I don't do anything else but sing and smile,
that's enough for me to be happy."

"Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day.
And you will feel your angel's love and be happy."


"And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me
if I don't know the language that men talk?"

"Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear,
and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak."


"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"

"Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."

"I've heard that on earth there are bad men. Who will protect me?"

"Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life."

"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."

"Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the way for you
to come back to me, even though I will always be next to you.


At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth
could already be heard, and the child in a hurry asked softly:

"Oh God, if I am about to leave now, please tell me my angel's name."
"Your angel's name is of no importance, you will call your angel...Mommy.


Thanks to all of you ANGELS out there! You are loved and appreciated!
