My First Mother's Day (Picture Heavy!)

My first Mother's Day was a wonderful day. I felt loved by Meredith. I felt pampered and cared for by Chris. I enjoyed (way too much) delicious food. I basked in the perfect weather.

I thought a lot about how hard, yet, rewarding, these past 10 months of mothering have been. To be completely honest, I felt proud of myself. Proud of enduring countless sleepless nights and hours of crying that would never end. Proud of the boogers I've wiped, diapers I've changed, games I've played, books I've read. Proud to be a mama to my favorite little girl in the world. I love being a mom and I love that there is a day celebrating mothers of the world.

Happy Mother's Day!



Happy Mother's Day to all my bloggy friends. A special Happy Mother's Day to my own mom. I have written before about how motherhood has changed me. Another way it has changed me is a much greater appreciation for my own mom. All the feelings I have for Meredith- the love, adoration, pride and patience- I now know she has for me. The hours I spend rocking her, kissing her, praying for her- I now know she did for me. I have never doubted at all that my mom loves me- and a lot. Since having my own daughter, though, I see just how wide and deep that love is.

Thank you, Mom, for listening to me, loving me unconditionally and helping me feel accepted no matter what. I have spent a lot of today thinking about how I wish I could go back and make every past Mother's Day even more special. Now that I'm a mom (for a whopping 10 months) I see what hard work it is and how deserving mothers are of appreciation, so today and everyday I hope you know how much I love and value you.
