Love this

A mother's joy begins when new life is stirring inside... when a tiny heartbeat is heard for the very first time, and a playful kick reminds her that she is never alone...

Everything grows rounder and wider and weirder, and I sit here in the middle of it all and wonder who in the world you will turn out to be.

The ocean will never stop kissing the shore line, no matter how many times it gets sent away. ~Sarah Kay

"Don't allow yourself to feel hurt or rejected by the choices made by others, no matter how much you've done for them."

"Missing someone isn't about how long it has been since you have seen them or the amount of time since you've talked. It's about that very moment when you're doing something and you wish that they were right there with you."

"It annoys me when people say, 'I'm a vegetarian except fish.' yeah, and I'm a non-smoker except cigarettes."

Find someone worth your tears, worth your laughter, worth your heart and that loves you as much as you love them.

"Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring, it was peace." Milan Kundera

We know only too well that what we are doing is nothing more than a drop in the ocean. But if the drop were not there, the ocean would be missing something. ~Mother Teresa

I promise to always love you, keep you safe and hold you tight, for you are a tiny miracle, so precious in my sight. I promise I will smile with pride, at the "firsts" in life you do, from your first steps, to your first tooth, to your first day of school. I promise I will teach you, what is important in this life, to love one another, and to always do whats right. I promise to be an example, as Im raising you, so you will see that what I say, is exactly what I do. I promise I will take the time, just for you and me, to count the stars in the sky and build castles by the sea. I promise I will visit your teachers at your school, attend your special programs and be proud of all you do.I promise I will help you, improve you homework scores and hang all your beautiful pictures on the refrigerator door. I promise I will meet your friends, and watch you play and run. And have special birthday parties and count memories one by one. I promise when your are teenager, I will try to understand when you wear a different hair style or follow the lastest trend. I promise life's not easy, it's sometimes hard to make it through, but I promise you I will be there to do what I can do. I promise when your all grown up, I will look back and say, "Dear precious little child of mine...how did the time slip away."

Remember there is no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple forever affected.

Remember the feeling you get from a good run is far better than the feeling you get from sitting around wishing you were running. ~Sarah Condor

My knees and feet have never hurts so bad in my entire life

“She was a girl who knew how to be happy even when she was sad. And that’s important —you know ” ― Marilyn Monroe

"Just because I laugh a lot, doesn't mean my life is easy ~ Just because I have a smile on my face everyday, doesn't mean that something is not bothering me ~ I just choose to move on and not dwell on all the negatives in my life ~ Every new moment gives me the chance to renew anew ~ I Choose to be that."

"Cause you don't know her like I do..You'll never understand You don't know what we've been through.. That girl's my best friend..And there's no way you're gonna help me...She's the only one who can..No, you don't know how much I've got to lose...You don't know her like I do..."

"3 years ago I labored a sweet young couple whose baby boy did not live. Yesterday I labored them again through a joyous & perfect delivery of a beautiful baby girl! A blessing & healing for all involved! I am so very thankful! I wanted to share my message of hope!"

My friends status that I loved...

"The couples that are meant to be, are the ones who go through everything that's designed to tear them apart and come out even stronger."

A NC State fan, a Carolina fan, and a Duke fan are climbing a mountain and arguing about who loves their team the most. The State fan insists that he is most loyal and then yells, "This is for the Wolfpack!" and jumps off the mountain. Not to be outdone, the Carolina fan next professes his love for his team. He screams, "THIS IS FOR THE TAR HEELS!" and pushes the Duke Fan off the mountain.

We're having a BOY

"I love you. You annoy me more than I ever thought possible. BUT, I want to spend every irritating moment with you." :) - Scrubs ♥

My friend Shay's status... so true...

What men should know: a woman who truly loves you will be angry at you for so many things, but she will stick around.

I've never been in love like this before Now let me pray to keep you from The perils that will surely come See life for you my prince has just begun And I thank you for choosing me To come through unto life to be A beautiful reflection of his grace See I know that a gift so great Is only one God could create And I'm reminded every time I see your face

A man's biggest mistake is giving another man an opportunity to make his woman smile.

Dear God, Please untie the knots that are in my mind, my heart and my life. Remove the have nots, the can nots and the do nots that I have in my mind.

Erase the will nots, may nots, and might nots that find a home in my heart.

Release me from the could nots, would nots and should nots that obstruct my life.

And most of all, dear God, I ask that you remove from my mind my heart and my life all of the am nots that I have allowed to hold me back, especially the thought that I am not good enough.

Amen.

I was RAISED!!! I didn't just grow up. I was taught to speak when I enter a room, say please & thank you, to have respect for my elders, to get up off my lazy butt and let the elder in the room have my chair, say yes sir and no sir, lend a helping hand to those in need, hold the door for the person behind me, say excuse me when it's needed, & to love people for who they are, not for what you can get from them! I was also taught to treat people the way I want to be treated! If you were raised this way too, re-post this. Sadly, many won't because they weren't, and it shows.

Forgive those who insult you, attack you, belittle you or take you for granted. But more than this... forgive yourself for allowing them to hurt you. ♥
