Happy Mother's Day

First off, I want to say I have the best Mom EVER! Seriously. My mom was always awake before us and always went to bed after us. (I never saw her sleep). Our rooms were always cleaned, our beds were always made, she always had a home cooked dinner on the table and kept a spotless house. My mom was always the head home room mom for ALL of our classes (she had 4 of us). She was the PTA President, and the Cheerleading Sponsor. She never missed our extra circular activities and always made sure our needs were met before her own. She always picked us up from school and toted us around town.... usually giving all our friends rides too. Although we joke and call her the helicopter mom... because she hovers over us all, she is the mom I will always strive to be... and I'm sure I will always come up short. I love you mom. I appreciate you now more than ever.

My first Mother's Day started off bright and early at 5:00am. Blakely was obviously very excited to start the celebration since last year at this time I was unaware I was preggo.

I started this blog after Mother's Day last year. In my first blog entry I talked about how last Mother's Day was a hard day for me. I had a miscarriage the August before mothers day, and the reminder that I was not a mother that day was very hard. I found out that I was pregnant with Blakely the Thursday after Mother's day. This year I am beyond thankful that God allowed me to be a mother to a beautiful baby girl. I am so madly in love with Blakely and cant imagine my life without her. My first Mother's day was perfect, simply for the fact that I had Blakely to celebrate it with.

Before I lost Talon (we were going to name our baby Talon, whether it was a girl or boy), I used to laugh at the family bumper stickers on the backs of cars. I would make jokes and I am pretty sure I swore I would never have bumper stickers on my car. After losing Talon, when I would see the family bumper stickers I would envy those people. I wanted nothing more than to have my own family. The bumper sticker family represents to me what I ached for.... and now that we have Blakely I feel so privileged and blessed that I wanted nothing more than my very own bumper sticker family for Mother's Day.

My mom mobile, has officially been pimped. ;) Thank you Milo.
