First Mother's Day

I had an awesome first mother's day, thanks to my wonderful husband. It all started with Joey getting up with Maya for her morning feeding and letting me sleep. Maya is working on sleeping through the night for the past four nights she has slept 8-10 hours, YAY! But, it is still really nice to have that extra couple of hours every now and then! Next, Joey made me breakfast in bed, including pancakes and bacon with some flowers to go along. After we were up and moving we headed out to the Daniel Stowe Botanical gardens and had a wonderful afternoon strolling through all of the gardens. Joey was going to cook us a big diner, but because we had a late lunch, I decided that ice cream from Marble Slab would be the perfect mother's day gift for me!! So, Berny, Wendy, Joey, Maya and I walked up to marble slab and finish the day of right! When I was talking with my Grandmother O'Shields last night to wish her a Happy Mother's Day, she said that the first mother's day is always so special. I think she is exactly right! It is such an awesome feeling to be a mom! I only hope that I can be as good of one to Maya as my mom is to me! I love you mom!
