Mother's Day


I had the best 1st Mother's Day ever. We got up and went to church with my parent's, my brother (who came in town to surprise my mom) and my sister and her family. At church they had a blessing for all of the mothers where they called us up to the center of Church and had a prayer and then we all got tulips as we walked back to our seats! I am such a sap and started crying during the blessing. We then went for a yummy breakfast. Afterwards Bob and I went home and all 3 of us took a nap in bed together - I love when we all 3 snuggle together in bed. We then went to a pottery place where I made a plate with Adam's foot print - I can't wait to pick it up next week. Then we all had dinner over at my parents. I got a Pandora bracelet and tons of beads! I was on cloud nine the entire day!


Being a Mommy is so much more than I ever thought it could be. I thank God everyday that he blessed me with this amazing baby boy! I am in awe everyday how much I am in love with him! Knowing a mother's love for their child has really made me look at my mom differently. She is so amazing and I couldn't have picked a better mother. I hope that I am able to do as good of a job with Adam as she has done with us.

Moving

Monday morning Adam rolled from his back to his tummy for the first time. He has been going crazy since then - he kind of rolls across the room now! I haven't actually seen him do it but I will put him under his play gym and go and do something and he'll be completely across the room from where the gym is. It's so funny because I'll always ask him how he got over there and he'll have this huge, proud grin on his face. This is just the beginning of his independence and it's so amazing to watch.

He has now had peas, carrots and sweet potatoes. He has seemed to like everything we have given him thus far. We have green beans and squash to try and then we'll be moving onto fruits. I have a feeling he'll love those.

This past weekend I had my niece spend the night. We had a lot of fun - making cupcakes and watching Disney movies but she is definately a handful right now. She is 2 years old and when you tell her no she does not like it at all and will have a tantrum. So needless to say I gave into her a lot. But I figured I am the fun aunt and that's what I should do :) She loves Adam or "Baby Adam" as she calls him and was a huge help wanting to get diapers and help feed him. But wow - it's hard to have 2 little ones around - such a big difference from one - especially since I had them alone. I felt guilty when I had to do something for one of them and had to leave the other one sitting there. It made me nervous about having another one but I know once we do have another baby it will all just fall into place.

Speaking of another baby - Bob is already asking when we are going to have our next one! We have 2 frozen embryos waiting for us. (I always tease that they are Adam's sisters). I always thought that I would want to have the Frozen Egg Transfer sooner rather than later but now I don't know - I kind of want Adam to be a little older so that we can just focus on him for a while. My brother and I are 2 years apart and I think that sounds good but I think Bob might want to have them 1 1/2 years apart so we'll just see. I am just so happy right now with my baby boy and can't even think about that right now.
