Teary Eyes

Being pregnant causes me to be teary eyed more than usual.  I am not usually a person who cries.  Actually Will has told me multiple times since being married "Tiff it is okay if you cry."  
Being pregnant makes me very teary eyed. 
Pictures of my family, past and present pictures, make me really teary eyed.

I don't talk about my Mom much.  Mostly because I don't want people to think I am sad all the time.  Because I am not.  I do miss my mom, I think about her daily, and think (of course) what life would be like if she were here with my family now.  When I hear a song, when I watch certain TV shows, when I listen to Alicia Keys or Stevie Wonder, when I find a picture with her in it, when I see a picture of Oprah, and eat yogurt - of course I think about her. 
Mostly right now I think about her when I am walking.  I walk 4 miles 5 times a week in the morning.  Will calls it "jogging" but I won't go that far.  I do go fast.  But I am by no means running or jogging!  I think about my Mom a lot on those walks. 

Why do these pictures make me think of my mom so much? 
A few reasons:
1.  I look a lot like her in the pictures.  My brother always tells me when I am pregnant I look like my mom.  I sure hope so.  She was beautiful. 
2.  Max smiles like my mom.  And also has her serious face. 
3.  My dad is happy.  He loves being a Grandpa, and you can see it all over these pictures.  That would make my mom happy.  She told me over and over he was going to love being a grandpa. 
4.  Looking at my pregnant belly in these pictures reminds me that my Mom isn't missing out on meeting my children.  She is with them right now.  She is with them in the pre-exsistance.  She is watching over them.  Sure, she is missing their earthy life.  But she has met them, and will be with them always. 
5.  The veil is so thin.  I can't wait to hold Baby Peanut because he was just with my Mom.  I can't wait for that feeling again.  Max gave it to me multiple times when he was a newborn, and I am grateful for that feeling. 

Thank you so much Casch for these beautiful pictures. 













 (By far my favorite Max picture EVER!  He is dancing, and showing off his moves!)


These pictures are just perfect!  I love all three of the following.  Look at all our faces.  Pure joy!
