What a year it has been! Last Mother’s Day, I was 22 weeks pregnant with our little boy and was riding the high of second trimester energy (read all about my 2nd trimester reflections here). This year, I have a happy, healthy nearly 8 month old on the verge of crawling who lights up my world with his smile.
I am so blessed to be a mother and to have both my mother and my mother in law as such a wonderful part of my life. Seeing them as grandmothers has been one of the highlights of my year, and I feel so much closer to them now that we share the bond of motherhood.
This year, to celebrate my first mothers day, my husband took my son and I out for a nice lunch, then gave me the most requested gift of any new mom: sleep! I am so blessed to be given the opportunity to be a mom and I cherish each day, even through the tough days. I hope each of you were able to celebrate with your mom or mother figure in your life this year. Happy Mother’s Day!
