Mother's Day

It still feels a little surreal that I am a mother and that one day soon my daughter will be calling ME mama. There have been a lot of emotions since the day I found out I was pregnant. I remember that day very vividly, it is one the happiest days of my life. The nine months of pregnancy, while hard at times, was the most spiritual thing I have ever done. There is no greater feeling than hearing your baby's heart beat for the first time, the first flutters of moment, then swirls and kicks, and hiccups. After that I truly had undeniable faith that there is a loving Father in Heaven. Each day I felt grateful and blessed that I had this little miracle growing inside me. And the day she was born, I couldn't help but feel heaven surround us.  It has now been 7 wonderful weeks since we have brought her home, and yet I feel like I have known her a lot longer. Words can't describe how blessed I feel to have the honor to be this precious little girl's mother. When I hold her and look into those big blue eyes, I am so grateful that families can be together forever. I think I am now able to understand how my mother was able to love me so dearly and deeply. There really is no love like the love you have for your child. I am forever indebted to my wonderful mother for her example of love, kindness, and forgiveness. I hope I can be half the mother she is.

The two amazing people that made me a mother



On Mother's Day Zach unfortunately had to work. So, Saturday we celebrated by going out for a wonderful dinner. Then Sunday evening I went over to my good friend Jess's house whose husband was working too. It was a a great evening spent with a delicious dinner that Jess cooked and our little ones playing. I think Remi and Olivia are going to be good friends.
