3 Years Ago...

3 Years ago I was not having conversations with a little person about why they had to go to sleep and eat and pick up their toys.

3 Years ago I was not asking someone if they needed to go potty.

3 Years ago I didn't take as much time planning out meals and ate pretty much whatever and whenever.

3 Years ago there wasn't stock of applesauce, raisins, yo-go bites, fruit bars, easy mac, chicken nuggets, fish sticks or juice boxes in my house.

3 Years ago I was not hearing things like "Momma, you're a goobah!" or "Momma, are you so happy?" or even "Momma, hold you."

3 Years ago I wasn't singing songs like "A you're adorable" or "You are my Sunshine" or "I love you, you love me", as a night time ritual.

3 Years ago I was able to have quiet conversation on the phone and eat a hot meal all by myself.

3 Years ago I could sleep in as late as I wanted and I was never late for work.

3 Years ago I cleaned my house everyday and never tripped over toys.


3 Years ago I had complete control of my thoughts, my body and I slept through the whole night and got plenty of rest.


3 Years ago I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew that I would love being a Mom.


3 Years ago I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body, and I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important. I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, just 3 year ago.

3 Years ago I could have never dreamed of feeling the way I do today as my baby is now 3 years old.

Happy Birthday Jordan!
