    Mother's Day thread for my daughter - Sirrahsim

    With Mother's Day approaching - I do not have a mother but I AM a mother and my "baby" girl is about to have her own baby - so I am sentimental.

    She may want to kill me, but I dug out and photographed some favorite assorted pictures of her from over the years. Since she lives across the globe from me, there isn't much she can do about it.

    So, here are some pictures of my baby....

    Back up to 1984.....I liked to take "belly pictures" too! We are living in Germany and I am about to have my third baby.....Brothers Jason and Bryan are excited about the new baby coming - Bryan (on right) chose the name "Melissa" for if it is a girl!! A boy will be named "Eric"...


    Newborn 8-02-84, Landstuhl, Germany...a GIRL!! She is named Melissa Jane. Jane was my mom's name.


    about six months old...


    Ponytails and pincurls in Louisiana...



    Pretty preschooler...


    Started school in Ohio...


    Elementary school - soccer and kitty lover...


    RB Bert


    Preteen...


    Teenybopper...



    more....

    Before I was a Mom
    Author Unknown

    Before I was a Mom
    I made and ate hot meals.
    I had unstained clothing.
    I had quiet conversations on the phone.

    Before I was a Mom,
    I slept as late as I wanted
    And never worried about how late I got into bed.
    I brushed my hair and my teeth everyday.

    Before I was Mom
    I cleaned my house each day.
    I never tripped over toys or forgot words of lullabies.

    Before I was a Mom
    I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
    I never thought about immunizations.

    Before I was a Mom
    I had never been puked on
    Pooped on
    Spit on
    Chewed on
    Peed on
    Or pinched by tiny fingers

    Before I was a Mom
    I had complete control of:
    My thoughts
    My body
    And my mind.
    I slept all night.

    Before I was a Mom
    I never held down a screaming child
    So that doctors could do tests
    Or give shots.
    I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
    I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
    I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.

    Before I was a Mom
    I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put it down.
    I never felt my heart break into a million pieces
    When I couldn't stop the hurt.
    I never knew that something so small
    Could affect my life so much.
    I never knew that I could love someone so much.
    I never knew I would love being a Mom.

    Before I was a Mom
    I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
    I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
    I didn't know that bond between a Mother and her child.
    I didn't know that something so small
    Could make me feel so important.

    Before I was a Mom
    I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay
    I had never known the warmth
    The joy
    The love
    The heartache
    The wonder
    Or the satisfaction of being a Mom.

    I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mom.

    OMEGOSH!! That is Paul!! I goofed - but now fixed the original post. I guess I am losing brain cells and don't recognize my own newborn. I selected the pictures from a slideshow I made for her wedding - it was made up of pictures alternating with Missy and Paul growing up.

    It is corrected now
