Mother's Day

Mother's Day was simple and perfect. Bud woke up early with Abby so that I could sleep in and they made a delicious breakfast of French toast and strawberries which is my favorite! They also surprised me with a card and a single beautiful red rose. Church was very nice and afterward we all took a much needed long nap.

Being a Mother has definitely turned out to be one of the most difficult yet rewarding things I have every done. I often get really frustrated with myself that I'm not better at being a mom or having more patience but I try to remind myself that this is the first time that I've ever done it and that just like everything else in life it is a work in progress. It still doesn't seem real that I am going to be having another baby in just 3 short weeks. I think that I was so in shock the first time that I just stared at Abby in her little hospital bed more than I held her. I think I was in disbelief that she was really mine. I know that this baby will be completely different from Abby in many ways but I hope that I am more at ease with many of the things that worried me and seemed so foreign. I honestly always thought that I would have a lot of boys but have loved every minute of having a little girl and I am so excited to have another one. Poor Bud...I guess he'll just have to wait a little longer. ;-) He is such a good dad and has such a sweet tender spirit that is perfect for our little girls.

Isn't it weird to think about having another one? I know just what you mean about the shock of the first one. I'm excited to see (hopefully) how much more comfortable the whole experience is. Good luck!

Hello - This is my first time reading your blog and I am so impressed on how strong you were to have kids! I am scared to have children. I just can't see beyond the labor!
