What a surreal day for me. Thought it would never come. It is as good as I thought it would be and better. On this day, I am also reminded of all the trying it took to get here, how I thought I would never be able to enjoy these moments because of how unfair the process was and how unfair it is that it doesn't work for everyone. My heart feels for all the people who are not mothers, but want to be. As I laid in bed last night I thought about how Mother's Day can be like Valentine's Day- a bittersweet holiday. I hope that my joy is not someone else's pain. I hope that more than anything, it is a reminder to those who want to be a mom, or a mom to a second little person, that it is possible in some capacity if you are open to it. And, that when you get there, all the waiting and consuming emotional turmoil can create a love that is so deep and indescribable that the rollercoaster is worth it. So, without further ado, a few more photos of my joy on this glorious day of motherhood!
Our favorite overalls. And, our favorite puppy dog who does not get nearly as much blog space as she used to...but we still love her just as much.
More flowers. We are addicted until our own pop up in the STILL snow covered yard. The snow IS receding though- not long now.
My Mother's Day gift. One of my favorite flowers- a stunning variety that Ruby and Owen picked out (wink, wink- thanks, Chip!)
Cuteness
Shout out to the Portland folks! Here is one of our "little boxers".
This shirt reads, "Does this diaper make my butt look big?". It makes me laugh. Especially when Chip replies, "No, honey, God did that."
Ruby always seems to have her mouth open like this. All the more opportunity to get something in it I suppose. Both of them are putting everything they can get their hands on into their mouths these days.
More cuteness
