A Newborn's Conversation with God

Love this!


A baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow,
but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"

God said, "Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you."

The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have
to do anything but sing and smile to be happy."

God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you.
And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy."

Again the small child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand
when people talk to me if I don't know the language?"

God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words
you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will
teach you how to speak."

"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"

God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach
you how to pray."

"Who will protect me?"

God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life."

"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."

God said, "Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach
you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you."

At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth
could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave
now, please tell me my angel's name."

God said, You will simply call her, "Mom."

Do I REALLY Have a Four Month Old?!

My little girl is four months old!!! Well, she was four months old a week ago. Where does the time go?

London makes me SO happy! She's the true love of my life. (Sorry Andy!) ha ha I love her to pieces. She is growing so much, and developing along the way. She's of course smiling, and belly laughing so hard that it gets me going too. She's so sweet, and loving. I never imagined that my life would be so complete with her. :-)

I haven't done anything with pictures here lately! Imagine, and photographer, that hasn't even done her own child's pictures in two months! I promise, I'm going to get to it...maybe tomorrow...maybe this weekend...but I will! lol

What about her daddy? Oh my! Could I ask for a better daddy?! NO WAY! I don't think one exists! He is SO good with her. She LOVES him like no other. She literally lights up when he walks into the room. She is absolutely a daddy's girl. Sweet! I think he rushes home to see her! ha ha

I plan to try and blog more about her. I've really fallen quite behind. More to come!

I Am Truly Blessed!

I haven't blogged in so long. I guess I've been very busy with this new little miracle in my life.

I can't get over how truly blessed I am. I don't know how I was selected to be mommy to such a beautiful, precious baby girl...but I am grateful!! I thank God everyday for her. She is my pride and joy. My number one.

Every night, it's so hard to put her to bed. lol All I want to do is sit and stare at her precious little face. I would just hold her all day if I could get away with it and not make a spoiled child. lol It's all I can do to swaddle her and put her in her bassinet to sleep for the night. I do, of course. Because she needs her rest too. ha ha

Well, when I put her to bed, there's always the morning to look forward to! She wakes up smiling at me, and it melts my heart. I am so in love, that I can't stand it! lol She definitely has me wrapped around her little finger!

Announcing London Paige Drewry!

Little London is finally here! Well...she was here two weeks ago, but she's a demanding little girl! lol

London Paige Drewry was born May 20, 2010 at 2:34 pm. She weighed 9 pounds, 9 ounces and was 20 1/2 inches long! She's very healthy, and mommy and daddy are very happy with her. We've settled in to life with a newborn, with several ups and downs. All of it's worth it though, when I look into her little eyes (when they are open!). I would do it all over again. I just LOVE her to pieces!!!

She has already become a daddy's girl. He's so in love that I wonder if he has room in there for me anymore! lol Just kidding. He's stepped right into the "daddy" role, and is doing a GREAT job at it! He has been a God-send to me!

Moving In

New house! Scary, and fun! We moved into our new place on March 12, and I'm as homesick as they come! It is getting better, but I miss everything and everyone familiar. My family seems so far away. But yet, they still aren't. We've had several things the landlord has had to fix in the house, and I think that has made it a much worse experience for me. But, gradually, things are getting better and getting fixed. Hopefully, the next 12 months will go smoothly (and quickly!).

The place is cute. Charming even. I just miss home. It's not home. At least not yet. We are working on it though. It's pretty large for our starter place, and the bedrooms are HUGE! I love that. Storage space is an issue, but it's not as bad as we had first thought. Come visit!

London's room will hopefully be setup in the next few days! Little one will be here in just a little over 7 weeks!!!! It's so hard to believe! I can't wait to hold our baby girl. :-) She is already so loved! We had a baby shower with my family, my friends and Andy's friends on March 7. We had a baby shower with Andy's family on March 21. We were spoiled by both!!! It feels so wonderful to be loved so much. And to know that London is going to be surrounded by such great people!

Andy and I celebrated our eight year anniversary on March 21 too. Wow! It's amazing to look back at our years together, and then to look at the past year and see what changes have come. This past year has been the most changes, I think for both of us. And this next year is going to be just as crazy. But I certainly welcome the changes. They are all good, and will hopefully continue to be.
