Here's a picture of me as a baby. My mom dressed my sister's and I in the best little outfits.

From now on I'm going to start randomly posting old photos of Tony and I from our childhoods ...aaaand I'm pretty sure this baby we made is going to be ridiculously cute :)

I will admit, being pregnant makes life incredibly exciting, in fact everyday and every second is exciting now, I know that sounds a bit overboard but really.. knowing that you and the person you love most in the WHOLE entire world created a LIFE...a human being...and that this creation that you love so much already is growing inside of you- it is something incredibly miraculous, the most beautiful and impacting words cannot do it justice. I have always thought that babies are an amazing symbol of two people's love coming together to make this one human being. It is the most perfect symbol of two becoming one. Another thing I have been pondering as I have been pregnant is that all of a sudden my body has so much more purpose, it sounds strange but it really does feel wonderful...I feel as if I am doing what God created me as a woman and a mother to do, there's something deeply satisfying about it. I ask myself how anyone could be pregnant and see life grow with in them and not believe there is a Master Creator. I think of all of God's abilities He has given us and the gift to literally create life is the most prominent proof there is that there IS a God.

Photos from the past...

We have a lot of old photos in our family, which in my opinion is wonderful. I love old photos, theres just something very special about them. My Grandma Tiny has given us her photo albums so this Christmas I am going to make her a photobook :) I have gotten pretty good at making them because Ive made one for my wedding & of our engagement pictures..next will be one of our Disneyland Honeymoon! Anywho.. I am so excited, My Grandma will be thrilled..she is coming for Christmas too so I will get to see how happy it makes her. If you dont know my family these pictures will just be a bunch of random people but if you go HERE you can select the photos and then the title explains who is in the picture. I hope you enjoy these.. I sure do.
