My First Mother's Day


Last year at this time, the day after Mother's Day to be exact, was when I found out that I was pregnant. I can still remember the joy I felt that day! I can't believe it's already been a year since then!

My first Mother's Day was all that I had hoped and dreamed it would be. Just spending the day with my baby girl, my daughter (still feels surreal to say that), was the best gift in the world. We started out the day by going to church. Then we went to breakfast and walked around Sierra Vista, which is where this picture was taken. After that we went home and just the three of us spent the day together. I held my Emmi as much as possible and just enjoyed every minute of the day with her. Who knew just staring at a baby all day could be so fulfilling!

In my happiness I also remember the pain Mother's Day used to bring. I know many girls out there who still feel that pain and my heart goes out to them. My prayer is that soon your pain will be turned to joy. My thoughts are always with you.

Everyday is a blessing to me, but this Mother's Day was so special. I can't believe how blessed I am!
