...and her gigantor 5 week old brother looked like this. 
Today, Miss Hayley looks like this...
...and her now-slightly-slimmer 1 yr old brother looks like this.
I loved them last year, I love them this year, and I'll love them next year and every other year after that.
Why?
Because they are mine.
Yesterday, I was watching 16 and Pregnant (don't make fun...) and was completely overwhelmed with sadness. I knew many friends in high school who were having sex and 1 who was pregnant and luckily---seriously, luckily, I was not one of them.
My choices in high school were not great and oh how ignorant I was.
The 100% way to NOT get pregnant in high school (or before you are married) is to not have sex. It isn't by using condoms or birth control.
I guess today, I am really sad with how our world is turning. How many movies do you watch that are "good" but on the first or second date, the girl and guy have slept together? Almost every movie I watch, this happens. And I don't go out of my way to see dirty movies.
I sit here, watching my son's round belly move up and down with each breathe he takes and I realize just how fragile he is. If not in his body, in his mind. I have been trusted by my Heavenly Father to raise him up in righteousness and teach him how to live worthily.
What is high school going to be like when my daughter and son are attending? Heck, what is junior high going to be like?
I'm scared. I love my kids so much and though I didnt think my love could grow stronger, spending every day with them has made me realize just how important they are to me.
It is much more important for me to blog during nap times or bed times and be with them during the other times. I'm working on that, you know. Staying off the computer when they are awake.
It sounds pathetic but it's something I conciously have to work on.
