For Tricia

I have been following a wonderful blog by Nate Lawrenson , that tells the beautiful story of his journey over the last several years. He is married to a great gal named Tricia who has Cystic Fibrosis. She gave birth in January at only 24+ weeks pregnant to a gorgeous little girl named Gwyneth Rose. It is a God story, over and over every day and I love to read about their miracles that are happening with each passing moment. Nate has a link on his blog right now about a mom that listed things that she cant wait for Tricia to "experience" with motherhood and I figured that I would join that thread.

Tricia,
I can't wait for you to experience:
-TEETH!!! (nobody tells you about teething....)
-a sticker, stuck to the window of your car that WILL NOT come off!
-a sleepwalking child, that pees on a footstool, thinking it's a potty and even leaves the little, wet wad of toilet paper there as well
-searching for the least dirty trash can for the very upset belly
-Gwyneth, saying for the first time "I love you mama!"
-Gwyneth, saying "Mommy, hold me like a baby!"
-standing in a dressing room with women in both rooms to either side of you and having your child say "Oh mom!! Big Booty!"
-that wonderful, delicious smell of your childs clean hair
-Gwyneth's first sleepover at your house with lots of noisy, laughing girls
-melted crayons all over the back, back seat of your car
-Gwyneth helping you cook dinner
-never-ending, all consuming, blinding love!!!
