My First Mother's Day

As a little girl, I loved to play with baby dolls.  I loved to take care of them.  I always wanted to me a Mommy.  I have had a furry child now for 6 years.  The day that I found out that I was expecting, I truly could not have been more excited. 

I sure didn't know how special Mother's Day would be.  I don't think I can truly describe the joy that this year has brought me.  While there are many challenges and it's not always easy, it's the best job on earth!  I love our little family. 

Matt helped Charlie pick out something special for me.  While I'm sure I will love my massage, I could not have been more thrilled with the card.  It had a sticker for Charlie to wear that said I love my Mommy and a pin for me to wear that said My son loves me. 

On other news, my doctor who delivered Charlie is the sweetest person I know (and a wonderful doctor too).  She called me to wish me a Happy Mother's Day!  There sure aren't many doctors that would do that on a Sunday.  She said that she remembered how special her first Mother's Day was and she wanted to wish me a very happy one as well. 

We spent the day as a family and it was a truly special day with a lot of outside fun time.  Charlie was busy playing with all his birthday gifts.

Happy Mother's Day to my mom and mother-in-law.  Thank you for being such wonderful Mother's to Matt and I.
