My 1st Mother's Day!!

What an absolutely f a n t a s t i c day I had!!! I started the day off by sleeping in! =) Eric got up with Ava when she woke up around 7:45. Of course my eyes always shoot open around this time anyway because typically my morning call is lying in her crib squealing and babbling until I finally roll myself out of bed and go see her bright smiling face. So, wide awake at this point I decided to stay put, relax some more, and twiddle with my new mother's day gift ... a Blackberry ... complete with a sassy pink cover thingamajig! Daddy scored big points for this one!! :) As I laid there, the smell of scrumptious hot cinnamon rolls fresh outta the oven teased my nostrils and tempted my taste buds ... "OOOhh, he's making cinnamon rolls--YUMM-O!!" I jumped out of bed, threw on my robe, and took my chicken-headed hair downstairs to be greeted by my smiley face baby--the littlest girl in the world who makes my heart so happy--and my doting & appreciative husband. These two are it ... they complete my life ... they are my favorite people in the world. I am so blessed to have one happy and loving little family. I slowly savored my breakfast of cinnamon rolls and hazelnut coffee before hopping in the shower. Next on my "Mommy Indulgences" list for the day was an hour and a half massage. Maaann that was just what the doctor ordered! Except for the fact that I had to keep requesting "more pressure please", these muscles are beyond tense my friend, you need to MASSAGE them! Anyway, my last stop was at the fabric store so I could get more fabric to finally finish Ava's baby blanket ... now that she's almost 7 months old. ;) I called Eric to let him know I was making one more stop and would be home. He said, "oh take your time hun, stop at Barnes & Noble for awhile if you want, or go to the greenhouse like you've been wanting to do ... this is your day, just relax" -- and this is why I love him. Of all these things that I could've done with my day, all I really wanted to do was come home and relax with my baby and husband and just do nothing but enjoy one another's company all day--so this is exactly what I did!! I love being a mommy....and I love knowing that I'm appreciated!! Mother's Day is my new favorite day of the year ;)
