A New Mom.....

As most of you know, I have become a Great Aunt. My beautiful niece, Nikki, just recently became a new mom to the beautiful Mackenzie. What an exciting and scary time for her and her husband. The world and life has changed dramatically for them and things will never be the same.
It got me to thinking about when I became a mom, soooo many years ago. I remember that I was not a happy camper when I found out I was pregnant. I did not have an easy pregnancy. The whole experience was not the wonderful blissful thing that mom's talk about. Matt's delivery was an experience I will never forget, right up to that moment that they wheeled me in for an emergency C-Section, then it was lights out. I didn't get to see Matt until he was 6 hours old. But once they laid him in my arms, I fell instantly in love with him. He was beautiful and he was mine. God blessed me with this beautiful child, ME...someone so undeserving of such a wonderful precious priceless treasure. He is all grown up now...the big 18! He has grown into this wonderful man....Man! I can't believe my lil' guy is now a man! I am so proud to be his mom!

Here are some LOs I did of my beautiful new Great Niece Mackenzie!
