Get a grip.

I'll Love You Forever!!

My friend Jen has given me grief in the past because if she get's teary-eyed I tell her to "get a grip." I'm not good with female emotions and don't handle them too well. Pre-pregnancy I averaged about 4 good cries a year. Usually one is during "The Notebook." And the rest I sum up to PMS. Pregnant - I am eating my own words. I average a daily cry now. Don't feel bad for me - I blame it totally on horomones. Matt thinks I have lost my mind and doesn't know how to handle it. Today's cry - looking at wall quotes online for the nursery. I came across the poem "Love you forever."
If you haven't heard it - you have got to go and buy the book. It's one of the sweetest children's books out there. The phrase that runs through the book is "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always. As long as I'm living, my baby you'll be." It's a story of a mom and her son, how she sang that to him every day when she put him to bed. She kept telling him that phrase through his life. The book ends with her as an old woman and he is holding her telling her the same thing. (Sob, sob).

The kids were playing outside today and Noah is coming up to my mid-chest now. Ella is not too far behind him in height. I was reminded how quickly they are growing up and it got me all choked up for many reasons. My love for those two reaches the end of the earth and back around again. I'm so blessed to be their mommy. Tomorrow's cry? Maybe maybe something on Oprah or one of those abused animal commercials? We'll see.
