For Tricia

I'm addicted~ I've stumbled across a blog called Confessions of A CF Husband. It's about Nathan, his wife Tricia (who has Cystic Fibrosis), and their MIRCALE baby Gwyneth who was born very premature. Tricia is in the hospital awaiting a Double Lung Transplant and baby Gwyneth is in the hospital too. If you really want to witness God at work, check them out at www.cfhusband.blogspot.com. WARNING: It's addictive! Nathan has asked blogging moms to make a Mommy List for Tricia about things she can look forward to, I thought this sounded like fun. So, here goes.

As a mommy, you'll get to...

~ Wonder what you ever did without her

~ Receive endless bouquets of wildflowers

~ Have your favorite lipstick smeared all over her face (and broken)

~ Have her ask, "Why can't I marry Daddy?"

~ Give "Mommy Snuggins"

~ Cry the first day she goes to Mom's Morning Out- and feel guilty about loving your 3 hours of "quiet time"

~ Take her to get her first manicure when she stops sucking her thumb, only to have her start back

~ Beam with pride as she dances as a bunny rabbit at her first dance recital

~ Take her to Sunday School and Wednesday night church and thank God that she's learning about HIM

~ Wonder how she manages to get Grandparents to buy her anything she wants

~ Have a special Lunch Day with Daddy (almost every Wednesday they have lunch at the Chinese Buffet)

~ Have the BEST shopping buddy ever!

~ Have endless giggles fill your house over silly things

~ Have a million baby dolls around your house and every one have a name

~ Swear you'll never spend "that much" on an American Girl doll- only to buy the doll, the outfit, and the diaper bag~ when she's 1 year old

~ Laugh as your mom pays way too much for a baby that sucks her thumb like she does- because she won't leave the store without it (again, when she's only one year old!)

~ Date night with your man takes on a whole new meaning

~ Become even closer to your husband and thank God for giving your girl such a Godly daddy

These are just some of the wonderful things about being a mommy of a little girl~ I know you'll make many, many precious memories with your new family. (We have a little boy who's pretty sweet too!) Wishing you all God's blessings!
