John and Hannah got me my favorite hanging basket plant for our front porch. They also got me photo frames so I could put pictures up in Hannah's room. (I'll add some pictures once they are finished) John made a delicious steak dinner on the grill to top it all off.
We truly had a wonderful day! My husband and daughter have shown me how important my family is. I've questioned some choices in my life, but becoming a mom is one thing I've never doubted. I can't wait to see what else the future holds for us, we're on this ride together, for the long-haul!
Thank you for a perfect Mother's Day with my family :) I love you!
My little Hannah bug just melts my heart. I cannot imagine my life without her in it, and I wouldn't want to be without her. She makes me smile when I'm sad or unhappy, she makes me laugh when I need a little pick-me-up, she is the sunshine to my cloudy day. I look forward to when she wakes up and greets me with a smile and "Mama". I can't wait to come home from work and see her. She has blessed our lives so much!!
I am so thankful and honored to be a mother to this special little girl. I thank the lord everyday that he has given me the opportunity to be a mother, to give away some of my unconditional love, and to shower my baby with my attention.
Here's a little poem I found online, this is so true. I cannot imagine my life before I was a mom.
Before I was a Mom
Before I was a Mom - I slept as late as I wanted and never worried about how late I got into bed. I brushed my hair and my teeth everyday. Before I was a Mom - I cleaned my house each day. I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations. Before I was a Mom - I had never been puked on - Pooped on - Spit on - Chewed on, or Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and My thoughts. I slept all night. Before I was a Mom - I never held down a screaming child so that doctors could do tests...or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep. Before I was a Mom - I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put it down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom. Before I was a Mom - I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important. Before I was a Mom - I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never known The warmth, The joy, The love, The heartache, The wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mom. |
A special Happy Mother's Day to my own mom. She is an inspiration to me everyday and I look up to her immensely. She has shown me how to be a mother and she is the person I look to when I need help of my own. No one can top this woman, she is truly amazing! I love you so much mom and am so proud you are mine!
Happy Mother's Day to my three incredible sisters as well. You three have all shown me the ways to be a great mom through the interactions with your own children and husbands. You have raised some pretty amazing kids and I can't help but be thankful for being a part of all of your lives. You've got no choice, you're all stuck with me!
Happy Mother's Day to all the Mom's out there!! I hope you have a wonderful day spent with your loved ones.
