Mother's Day Pay Pal Cash Giveaway!




Mother's Day Giveaway paypal




 I became a Mother the moment that second line popped up on the pregnancy test. It was something I had dreamed about and hoped for from the time I was a little girl. I didn't dream of weddings and marriage but I had visions of holding a sweet baby and being a parent (with my husband.) I remember my husband even gave me a Mother's Day card that first year even though I was only 5 months pregnant! He knew how much being a mother meant to me.

I remember that feeling of my life changing. I couldn't wait to count toes and see first smiles. Of course my dreams were all about the good times and sweet moments. Then my first was born and let me tell you he was actually an angel baby! He slept well and was sleeping at night by 3 months. He was bright and talked super early. He was the easiest baby we've ever had.



Only 22 months later his brother joined us. He was born pink and angry! I remember seeing him sitting in the bassinet and I really think he was glaring at me! He slept for about 3 weeks (he was born 3 weeks early) and when he woke up he let us know he was here! Colic was rough. He was nothing like his brother and Our world turned upside down. (I feel like I should note that he is my easiest kid in general but he was a tough baby who never slept and cried a lot! At 2 he completely changed and transformed into another angel baby - his big brother on the other hand gained a real personality at that time!)

As you can see Motherhood wasn't quite what I thought. It was loud, messy, and amazing. Really I wouldn't change it at all. I've laughed and I've cried. Many years later we decided to try for our 3rd and that didn't come easy. We had a few losses and many months of secondary infertility. It took a toll on our marriage (but we overcame!) Finally we had our sweet third son. He was what I would call a normal baby. He didn't really sleep but he was fairly pleasant. He brought so much joy to our lives. The five years later our little miracle baby came (you need to read his story here.) He was another whirlwind with colic and a strong personality. His first year was a hard one but he is developing into the funniest little guy and we all enjoy him.

I don't know if you kept count but that is 4, yes 4 boys!

Our days are 

Loud
Messy
Long
Dirty
Busy 





I LOVE IT! 

I wish we could have more children but I think our family is complete. Thankfully Motherhood begins at that first positive test and keeps going forever. Every age brings new discoveries. This year we will have our first graduate, our first driver and potty train! It is always busy and always something!



 I wanted to do something nice for my readers to celebrate Mother's Day. I'm hosting this PayPal $25 Cash Giveaway. I hope it will be a blessing to one of you - that you can do something nice for yourself.
