My First Mother's Day

I am so happy to be a Mom! We had a wonderful Mother's Day weekend and were lucky enough to celebrate with both of our Moms. On Saturday we met my parents (Grandma and Papa) for lunch at The Cheesecake Factory and a little afternoon shopping. Lily was awake through most of the visit, but barely made any noise. She still gets very shy/quiet when in loud/scary places. But after hanging out with Grandma and Papa for a while, and once we got in a quieter place, Lily showed off her smiles and giggles for the grandparents to see in person.

On Sunday, I celebrated my first Mother's Day by sleeping in. :) I woke up with Lily for her first feed at 6:30 am, but then she and I went back to bed from 7:30 - 10:30. That felt good! While we were sleeping, she sent Daddy to the store and there was coffee cake and flowers waiting for me when I got up.

In the afternoon we went to Nana and Grandpa's house (Matt's parents) for an early dinner. Nana LOVES the twighlight movies so we watched New Moon and taught Lily about Edward, Bella, and Jacob. :)

I feel so blessed to be a Mom. It's something I've always wanted and I couldn't imagine my life without children in it. It's definitely a tough job, but it's all worth it when I see Lily's smile or hear her laugh.
