As a Mother, today was a perfect Mother's Day. Chris really helped to make it special for me. We went to church together, went out for breakfast afterwards and I received a perfect gift - gift certificates for a massage and a pedicure. I feel so lucky to be able to be a mom and be able to join the club on Mother's Day. Brady makes it so easy for me. What a wonderful and happy-go-lucky little boy he is. Chris and I were joking over breakfast this morning about how he began his life as a frozen little embryo the first five months of what we consider his life. All jokes aside though, thinking about that makes me realize just how special this little guy is. There were something like 18 embryos in the beginning of this process. In the end, there were five. Out of the five frozen ones, there were two strong ones that we used. Brady was the one that survived the dethawing process out of the two. What a fighter. :) And what a true blessing. People always say that things happen for a reason. Although there are situations in life where you can never figure out the "why", such as little kids with serious diseases or a life taken too early, I think I have figured out my "why" - why it took us so long to be able to have Brady. Chris and I have a greater appreciation for life, for our baby and I believe that this came with age. I believe we enjoy him more and can be better parents and role models for him because we are older.
Smiling at Daddy today :)
He looks way too grown up in this picture
And I want to wish my Mom a BIG Happy Mother's Day too!!! I wish I could have spent the day with you. I want you to know mom that I do and always will feel like the luckiest daughter in the world because you are my mom. You are a wonderful person - so caring and giving to everyone. You are the most selfless person I know. You have proven that to set a good example, you have to be a good example. Thank you for always being there for me. You have always had faith in me as a person. I don't think I have even began to understand the sacrifices you have made for us girls, but I am realizing after being a mom how much you have done for us over the years. I'm pretty sure there were a few years with raising four girls in the same house that you thought you were going to lose your mind, but I want you to know that I look back on those memories as you being a great mom. Not just a great mom, but the BEST mom. I don't know how you did it, but congratulations, because you did. :) I love you Mom!!!!
And I would like to wish my mother-in-law Rhonda, sister's Rachel & Melissa and sister-in-law Alecia and all other moms a Happy Mother's Day!!!
