Happy Mother's Day

I understand now. I truly do. Before, I used to take this day for granted. I never knew how much work it took to be a mom. All of the effort, the pain, the frustration, the joy, the craziness....I could go on forever. I just wanted to say thank you to my mom. I realize how hard it must have been to have seven! Today was such a day of relaxation (this all because my husband made sure of it). I started the day off with nursing my baby and just watching her little eyelids flutter as she began to wake up. I thought to myself how truly blessed I was to be given this miracle in my life. The day went on as I got balloons and presents and a card from my sweet Maeve. Then Daddy took her out of the house to do some grocery shopping. I was left all alone in silence with my coffee watching The Truman Show on TV. It was so relaxing! As the day went on and they came home, we went to the Giants/Phillies game and met up with Renee and Tim. Maeve was an angel, sleeping through 5 innings. The day ended with dinner after Maeve went to bed (and us shortly behind her!). I wanted to thank all of my friends and family who called and wished me well on m very first Mother's Day. I wouldn't have enjoyed this day as much if I didn't have a wonderful daughter and husband.
