I'm the Lucky One

I was very excited to celebrate my first Mother's Day this past Sunday. Brian took the baby early on and let me sleep an extra hour which is about the best gift I could get these days. Then he and Collins went to Panera and got me a huge coffee and muffin, followed by a trip to the farmer's market to pick out some plants. These small things made me very happy, but throughout the day I kept thinking- I am the lucky one. I am so incredibly lucky to have this healthy baby girl and to have the chance to be a Mom. I'm going to try hard to never take this experience for granted because I have already learned in three short months that being a Mom is the coolest, most challenging and scary, special thing I have ever done.
