Hello!<\/p>\n

Your weekly hosts are \u00a0Misty<\/a>,\u00a0April<\/a>,\u00a0\u00a0Shannon<\/a>\u00a0(that\u2019s me!)\u00a0,\u00a0Amanda,<\/a>\u00a0Danica,<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Kaitlyn<\/a>. We would love for you to add your post to our link up of the things you are loving this week, too! And please spread the love by following the other blogs in the link up\/commenting on their posts. This is such a great way to meet like-minded mamas and make new friends, all while showing off your blog as well. The Hump Day Highlights weekly link up is going to be a blast, I hope you link up and follow along!<\/p>\n This week it is kind-of a self-reflection in that I have concluded that I am\u00a0officially a crier.<\/p>\n I didn’t used to be.<\/p>\n I would blame it on the hormones of pregnancy, but this has been going on for a handful of years now.\u00a0And it happens instantaneously. One moment I will be just fine and the next I’ll look like I’ve been punched in the gut.<\/p>\n I have figured out what has changed, though.<\/p>\n I became a mother.<\/p>\n I find myself bursting into tears the moment I see anything pertaining to sick, hurt or dying children. Children in need of love, a better life or a home.<\/p>\n I also burst into tears when I see children experiencing extremely happy things, too. The Cottonelle commercials of kids snuggling their mommas?<\/p>\n Tears.<\/p>\n Children doing good deeds for other children?<\/p>\n Tears.<\/p>\n Oh. And movies where the parents of children get hurt\/leave\/die?<\/p>\n I am done in.<\/p>\n So, grab a box of tissues before you watch these because I DARE you not to shed a tear.<\/p>\n First up, this sweet, sweet video of children who know their mama’s feel so well they can identify them blindfolded. Oh this just made my mama heart swell.<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?t=11&v=DRoqk_z2Lgg<\/p>\n And this one, the bravery this child and (And mother) exhumes is beyond me. Incredible. I need a bigger tissue.<\/p>\n
