I just wanted to wish all the mothers a Happy Mother's Day. It's finally hit that Im going to be a mother and the thought is just overwhelming. Ive been feeling the baby move around and everything. Its a feeling totally undescribable untill you have your own children. We all learn so much from our mothers and always look up to them. I mean who else can we run to when we can't find something? Mom always finds what no one else can in record timing, its some kind of radar Im sure. But all mothers taught us these 25 basic principles, that Im sure Ill teach to my children!

LOL! That is funny.
That's exciting that you've been feeling the baby move. Don't you think it makes the pregnancy feel so much more real when you feel them move? I always do.
When do you find out what you are having?
Happy Mothers Day! (you soon to be mommy) ;-)
