My First Mother's Day!

Last year at this time, I was 8 months pregnant (oh man..that feels like forever ago), swollen, puffy, and had NO IDEA what I was about to get into.

Yes, some of it has been banana-cake-crazy, but if I would have known the joy and happiness that this year has brought me....

I would have done it a long time ago. 

June 20, 2012. The day that changed my life forever. I'll never forget that day, and all of the FIRSTS that have happened since I've become an "official Mom". 

THESE are the moments I will remember forever. 

I want to hold on to them as tight as I can.

{The First Time I}....
***WARNING--PICTURE/CUTENESS OVERLOAD!***

Got to hold him in my arms. 

Heard his little squeaky cry.  

Changed his diaper all by myself -- I was a natural :)

Saw my hubby's eyes light up when he looked at him

Put his tiny little body in the car seat for his first ride home.

Realized I wasn't going to get to sleep all night long. 

He cut his mouth with his fingernail, started bleeding, and I freaked out.

Took him on a walk and he was in awe.

Tried to go to the grocery store with a baby and realized how different my life was now.

Rocked him to sleep as I sang "You Are My Sunshine".

Heard his "human laugh". 

Saw him rollover.

Watched him laugh at his Daddy making silly faces.

Realized the joy he brings to every ONE of our family members. 

Watched him crawl and realize life was about to change again.

There are SO MANY FIRSTS that have happened..and so many more to come. 

I am just SO HAPPY that I get to be this amazing little person's Mom. It makes me truly appreciate everything my Mom has done for me. You never realize how much work it is to be a Mom, until you become one. Your perspective totally changes--for the better.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL YOU MOMS OUT THERE!! WE ROCK!!
