Either way, today I celebrated being a mom. I gotta be honest it's the best and one of the hardest things ever and I only have one baby! I love this age. Hadley is walking, talking and has so much personality. I feel like she's becoming more of a little person every day. I read an article yesterday about how being a mom to young kids is really 24/7 with very few breaks and I think it's true.
Today as my sweet baby rocked with me before bed, I thought about how lucky I am. Many women will have the opportunity to be mothers but some will not. I've had friends who have walked long roads of infertility and miscarriage. So today, I recognize it's hard but I'm also completely thankful and blessed.
We had a simple day of celebration today, not absent of our normal episodes with a curious 1 year old but still memorable. Brian chased Hadley into the kitchen of the restaurant as she wandered away at the end of lunch! Brian's mom, GG is traveling this week so we made a video message to say hello for this special day. Nothing quite captures each stage like video....I just love that little voice :).
More posts to come this week, I promise. It's finally spring here and today in honor of Mother's Day my dad and husband helped me get my backyard garden into shape...looking forward to some yummy garden veggies this summer!
Off to bed to start again tomorrow. Happy Mother's Day everyone!
