Nine Months in the Making

Today I got to celebrate my first Mother's Day.  For the last nine months I have been able to experience love unlike any other, to know what it means to truly put someone else's needs before your own, and to know what it feels like to be willing to do ANYTHING to ensure your child will be safe and sound.  It's difficult to write about being a mom, any words I type seem to sell my emotions short, but it's too great a journey to not try.  I feel blessed everyday to be Little Guy's mommy and to know that I am capable and strong enough to raise a child in today's world.  I know I am lucky to have strong women around me, especially my mom, who continue to encourage and support me in parenthood.  I look forward to the accomplishments and the challenges as I navigate motherhood and to watching Little Guy grow into a strong, confident, kind, person.

Thanks Little Guy for making mommy hood such an awesomely rewarding experience, I love you.
