(first time holding ethan, 3 days old)
I had a wonderful first mother's day. dan and ethan made it nothing short of amazing and I got spoiled. I am so lucky to have those two. The one thing I asked Ethan for was to learn how to sleep through the night, and it was the only thing I did not get. As I was sitting playing with him today I realized I did not even care that he is 7 months old and still not sleeping though the night. It is just one more chance I get to cuddle up, just us, and rock him to sleep.
Ican't stop thinking about how lucky I am to be a mom, a mom to my ethan baby. it is not always easy and a there are a lot of sacrifices of motherhood, but there is no where I would rather be. watching this little boy grow and learn is amazing, and there is nothing better than seeing him giggle so hard he can barely breath or when he learns something new and can't stop smiling because he is beyond proud of himself. he has taught me a lot in 7 short months. I always remember people talking about how wonderful motherhood is, but it is not until I became a mother that I truly understood the joy it brings. I never thought I could love this little boy so much and be so fulfilled by being his mother.
Happy first Mother's Day to me! And happy mother's day to dan and I's amazing mother's as well!
