Mother's Day

As A Mom...

Favorite Part of the Day: I have several favorite parts of the day! I love waking Gage up in the morning during the week. It is really nice to snuggle with him and just hold him as he wakes up, even if it is only for a minute or two.

I also like it when I pick him up from the in-laws house in the evening, when he sees my face he gets the biggest smile on his face!! I love it! Now he gets really excited and crawls up to me! LOVE IT!!

I also love night time. I make him a bottle and we snuggle on the couch while he drinks his bottle, he will usually fall asleep in my arms!!

Least: Even though I know he is going to a great place (the in-laws house) I still have a hard time leaving him in the morning! I do feel a lot better knowing that he isn't in daycare and he is well taken care of.

Proudest Moment:
So far, I would have to say the day he was born. That was the best day of my life; even if it was painful, stressful, and one of the hardest things I have had to do in my life. I wouldn't change it for anything.

I was also very proud of Gage when we went the the Shriner's hospital. It was awesome! He did so well and was so brave! What a big boy!

Biggest Challenge:
My biggest challenge is juggling everything that a Mom has to do on a daily basis. I am very organized and I am grateful that I was blessed with such organization but, it is still stressful!! I feel like I do a good job at keeping everything kept up but I still am working all the bugs out!!!

Biggest Opps/ Embarrassing Moment:
I would have to say that there hasn't been very many, but when Gage burped in church and it was the LOUDEST burp ever. The whole church heard it!! Too Funny!

Things you never thought you would say or do (before you were a Mom):
"I am too tired to go shopping!!"
"Did he poop today?"

Things you are most looking forward to:
I am excited to see Gage start walking and really talking!

My First Mother's Day went was very nice! On Friday I took the day off work and got pampered with a Mani, Pedi, Hair Cut, and a massage! YEAH! It was awesome! On Sunday I woke up and we got ready to go to breakfast with Todd's parents! It was nice to spend a little time with them before we went to church! Then after church we went to my mom's house and enjoyed a day filled with laughs, food, and fun with family!! Happy Mother's Day to all of the mothers and soon to be Mommies!!!
