If I had only known.....

Proud mom



Christmas 2009







Christmas 2008 (Best Grandparents....I have baby Cam in my belly)



As a new mom, (I know Camden is going to be 3 in April, but everyday is something new), I realize how hard it is to be a mom. If I had known how hard it was, I would have been so much nicer to my mom growing up. I remember things that I said and did to my mom growing up that were so incredibly hateful. I know that if Camden said and did the same things that I did, my heart would be completely broken. (I sit and think of these things as I rock Camden before bed at night....I have a few more random thoughts coming your way soon).






So mom, for the time....








....I said I hated you (how many times, I can't remember)



....I threw the precious baby cradle Grandaddy bought me


....I broke the phone





....I lied


....I disappointed you




....I didn't tell you I love you




....I ran away (with Daisy to the end of the street and freaked out)


....I didn't say thank you




....I didn't eat what you made me


....I didn't wear what you bought me


....I didn't follow directions


....I couldn't make up my mind


....I maybe got a little anxious


....I am sure I should apologize for future oops

(you owe me for the ankle incident)


....I am so sorry. You are so appreciated and LOVED. I value our relationship and am so thankful that God called you to be my mom. I adore you momma, and am sorry I don't say it enough.






I am so thankful that God called me to be Camden's mom, but I am also feel so inadequate to be a parent. I am trusting that God will equip me each day to teach and love my son.
