I never understood how hard my mom's job was until I became a Mama myself. The second these two amazing gifts from God were placed in my arms my life changed instantly. Hands down the most amazing moments of my life. To hear your babies cry for the first time and watch them take their first breath are the most wonderful moments ever.
Keira was pretty riled up once she came flying out of the womb and as soon as the nurses put Keira's sweet little face up to mine, I started whispering in her ear and she went completely still the second she heard my voice. It was such a perfect moment. Brings tears to my eyes just to think about that special time with her. SOOO much joy looking at those tiny faces.
Its almost 2 am and I can't sleep due to my chronic nerve pain so I thought I'd look through some old pictures of my mom and I. Found some very special pictures and it brought back so many fun memories.

I've been extremely blessed to have a Mom who loves Jesus and my Dad more than me. That may sound odd but that's the way its supposed to be. If my Mom didn't love my Dad more than my sisters and I, their marriage may not have survived the 35 years they have been together.
My Mom sacrificed so much so she could be home and raise my sisters and I. She homeschooled us all for several years on top of raising foster children. While she did not have a good childhood, my Mom did everything she could to give my sisters and I the life she always wanted but never got. She has always been there for me in more ways that I can count. To this day, I know she would drop whatever she has going on if I needed her. When I was a week away from having my daughter Keira, I was panicking not knowing how we were going to handle Jett while I was in the hospital having Keira. Mom happily rearranged her schedule and flew down to help take care of Jett for several days while I was in the hospital with a new baby.
My own two kiddos adore their 'Grammia', especially Jett. Mom and Jett have a very special bond. He shares her love of crushed ice and jelly beans. They both love snuggling in the basement watching movies wrapped up under blankets and going to the zoo. Going to Grammia and Papa's house is such a special trip and he BEGS to go there frequently. I wish we lived closer so we could spend more time with my parents but we really enjoy the time we do get.
Jett's first time to go fishing.
I'm so blessed to have such a loving Mom. She led me to Jesus when I was 4 years old. My Mom is one of the hardest working people I know and has accomplished so much despite such a difficult start to life. She has overcome so many obstacles in her life and is a very strong person. My parents have been married 35 years and she still adores my Dad. He is everything to her. I love my parents so much and am so glad my kiddos have them for Grandparents. They spoil my kiddos like crazy but I wouldn't have it any other way. Happy Mothers Day Mom. You are loved VERY much by the Meyer clan!
