For instance: Ketchup was sold in the 1830's as medicine, and chewing gum while peeling onions will keep you from crying. Fairly meaningless tidbits of information in the grand scheme of things, really, but things I did not know...
One thing I did not know until eighteen months ago, and am still learning, is how much I would absolutely love being a mother. I was completely prepared for how "awful" it would be; late night feedings, ear infections, getting puked on, never sleeping in again, completely losing my identity as I had known it, less flexibility, someone being totally dependent on me, less time for everything.
What I was not prepared for is how much I would love being the mother of these two absolutely incredible works of Heavenly art. Along with all the "awful" things come the humbling things; the hugs, the kisses, the smiles... I am in absolute awe over these two girls God gave me. As I sit here looking at the most beautiful picture of my babies, I think of a quote I once read, "I never knew what it was like to have my heart outside my body."
Being a mom has made me braver than I ever knew I could be. Most of the time I still have no idea what I am doing. But I love every single minute of it!

So this is my first blog....
So this is my new place to ramble.....I actually had not thought of doing this but I didn't realize until too late that I didn't need to actually do all this to sign another friends blog...OH WELL! I guess maybe I'll try this and see how it goes! I am extra tired today so maybe that's why I'm not totally with it. Maybe I should just be like Rebekah and grab my blankie and lay on the floor and it will all be better after some sleep!
We had our first real accident with one of the girls last night...and I wasn't even there to witness it! Dad had to deal with it all by himself! I was working an even last night and the girls were playing and runnin around in the living room. Rebekah fell and hit her nose on the coffee table and it bled and she screamed something awful he said. Poor Dad it really scared him! In 10 minutes, though, she was fine and running around again! Hooray for risiliant kids! :)
