Obviously Mother's Day was a special day for me this year. Josh and I say technically it is my second Mother's Day because I was pregnant with Josiah last year, but this was my first real Mother's Day. My first Mother's Day of knowing some of what it takes to be a good mother. This day was so special for many reasons but mostly because it is just a wonderful reminder of how truly blessed I am not only to be able to be a mother, but especially to be a mother to a wonderful little boy. Being a mom was something I always dreamed of. When I was growing up and people would ask me what I wanted to be I always said I just want to be a wife and a mom. I wanted to be the woman that was home with the kids, that made dinner for her husband every night, that decorated her home, and was crafty. I have to tell you that some days are much better than others. That the house is not always clean and sometimes we settle for fast food or a night out instead of a home cooked meal,that baby toys have now taken over my living room making it impossible to really look clean, but not a day goes by where I am not truly thankful for the life that I live and for the blessings I have. I am so thankful that God sees the "little" things as BIG things and cares enough for me to grant my hearts desires.
On Saturday morning Josh got up and brought me Josiah to nurse, once he was finished I got up and headed for the kitchen to feed him his breakfast. I was quickly told to return back to bed for breakfast. However I had to pump and the dog needed to go out and Josiah needed his cereal. I sat down he handed me the plate and then I went to the kitchen to go back to what I intended to do. It was the thought that counts, but it was a reminder that life will never be the same. No more days of sleeping in and breakfast in bed, but I am ok with that :) Sunday Josh took me to lunch and bought me some roses. He also gave me a big fancy beach hat and a HUGE towel that Josh, Josiah and myself can all fit on at the beach. I feel honored and blessed to be Josh's wife and Josiah's mom. I might not always do things perfectly, but I hope I will always try to give my best.
