My Charleigh's Birthday is bringing back so many memories.
I can't believe it. Tomorrow, May 25th will be my little Charleigh's 2nd Birthday and nine days after that will be Baby Dannee's 1st Birthday!! These last few years have been so special to me. I have a 14 year old as well and she has always been my whole world and will always hold a big chunk of my heart and I never thought it was possible to love another child as much as her, along came Charleigh. I couldn't believe it. It all came flowing back and I remembered what it was like to be a "new mom" again. Things haven't been easy for Ryanne (my 14 year old) and I over the years, to say the least but I met Terry and he brought so much to Ryanne and I. The way he made us feel, about ourselves and just in general and now as a mother to his babIES. As I was saying earlier, Charleigh came along and it all came back to me. It seemed so natural. I love being a mom.
We bring our bundle home and things are perfect, we couldn't be happier!! Lots and lots of smiles every single day, the sound of laughter emits from our house but suddenly I start to feel "strange" all of a sudden and I'm craving my ginger candies. "Why would I be craving those?" I would ask myself, then something didn't happen that's supposed to happen for us lucky women every month.....OH MY GOD!! Off to buy another pregnancy test I go. I bring it home, to the bathroom and well, you know the drill. I sit, I stare, I see the positive result create itself in the tiny window. I step out of the bathroom to share the great news with Terry!! We're having ANOTHER! I couldn't believe it. I JUST had one and now another? My first reaction was the same as everyone else that we told and I asked myself if I was crazy too.
I remember this time last year when we were celebrating Charleigh's 1st birthday and I was so close to my due date for our next baby. I could barely move and looked like I would just topple right over if I stood up. My legs and ankles resembled elephants and I'm sure I was coming across like an angry bear with everything being so crazy that day (yes, we went a little overboard for a 1st birthday that Charleigh wouldn't even remember!!lol) People were betting on my labour to start during the party. Didn't happen.
Nine days later, along came another love that filled my heart. Once again, I doubted that I could ever love another the way I loved my first two children, but, there we were. Another baby, another love, another heart and a third little girl. My heart was and has ever since been filled with love. I look forward to my life and can close the book on my past.
I truly believe that everything happens for a reason and I have learned from the situations that I have found myself in. I have had to find the deepest courage in the most desperate of situations and I have had to find my strength when I have been at my weakest point and because of that, I am the person that I am today. I have gained from my past. I now work for myself, I am a photographer and follow my passion, I am a mother who gets to spend her days with her babies I am a partner to a very supportive man that I would give the world to if I could as he has given to me. I am very lucky to be me.

Enjoying the Weather
The weather has been so unpredictable this year. Winter was warmer and this spring, I can count on one hand how many nice days we've had. It is now May 15th and last week we took advantage of a nice, sunny day in the backyard with the babies and our dogs. I love this picture of Stoli, she looks so happy and seems to really be enjoing the sun on her face!
