Happy Mother's Day!

Today means more to me than I ever imagined it would...especially since last Mother's day I wasn't sure I would ever be celebrating it as a mom. What a difference a year makes...little did I know that a short time after last Mother's day I would find out I was expecting a little miracle. Today I would like to give a huge shout out to all the moms! I never realized how hard it was to be a mom and I've only been one for almost 3 months - I'm pretty sure the hardest part is yet to come (teenage years)! Although difficult, being a mom is the most amazing experience and I'm so thankful for the wait we had to become parents - I believe that makes the end result even sweeter! Waking up every morning to a smiling, happy little guy waiting for you in his crib is the best feeling ever! I am also even more thankful for my mom now that I truly understand what she went through to raise me. For the extreme dedication, for the sleepless nights, for putting your children before yourself every day, for such unselfish giving, for all the hugs and kisses, for the fun times & the tears, to the most frustrating yet rewarding job you'll ever have...here's to all mothers!

"The moment a child is born, the mother is also born.
She never existed before.
The woman existed, but the mother, never.
A mother is something absolutely new."
- Rajneesh

That brought tears to my eyes! I am so happy you get to experience all the joys of motherhood now. It is something you could never imagine how incredible until you get to live it yourself. Happy belated mothers day!
