November is almost over in a few weeks and I must start beginning to think about Christmas. Julianne’s first Christmas! Every year I buy Christmas cards with all intentions to send them out, but I never do. This year I plan to actually mail out Christmas cards to friends and family. I have become a big fan of Shutterfly! I love their photo book designs and get a lot of great comments on how beautiful they are. So naturally, I can’t wait to try out their photo cards.
The hard part will be picking between the folded greeting cards or flat photo cards. The even harder part will be picking the photos to feature! You all know we LOVE to take pictures of Julianne and have thousands to chose from. I’ll have to pick a holiday card that features more than 3 photos.
To all bloggers, share your Shutterfly experience on your blog and get 50 free holiday cards from Shutterfly. Check it out here.

Before I was a Mom,
I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn’t worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mom,
I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom,
I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests.
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mom,
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn’t want to put her down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn’t stop the hurt.
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 I would love being a Mom.
Before I was a Mom,
I didn’t know the feeling of having my heart outside my body..
I didn’t know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
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 and happy.
Before I was a Mom,
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth,
the joy,
the love,
the heartache,
the wonderment,
or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn’t know I was capable of feeling so much,
before I was a Mom.
