It's Mother's Day

Today is my 1st Mother's Day with an outside baby. What a difference a year makes!

Last year we were living at my parent's house. We lost power overnight, so it made for an uncomfortable day for a pregnant lady! My dad and Alex made us breakfast (without electricity...they got HUGE points!), and then we opened presents. I got cards and Alex gave me a spa day for the next day. We spent the rest of the day at the mall, just to soak up A/C! The best part about last year's Mother's Day happened the following day. We had our "big" ultrasound and found out we were having a (healthy) baby GIRL! Afterwards, I had my spa day (facial, pregnancy massage and mani/pedi) from my husband. It was awesome!

But this year is so much better! There's just something about having a baby to hold on Mother's Day. Amelia has been saying "Mama, mama, mama" so that's pretty much the best thing EVER! Plus I got a rose bush and family heirloom ring from my mother-in-law, and Alex and Amelia gave me a beautiful watch!!!

My parents are coming over in a bit, Alex & his mom are on a walk with Amelia, so I'm just drinking Sangria and chilling. Sublime!!!

Happy Mother's Day, everyone!

I'm back!!!

Hello!

It's almost been a year since I blogged here. I haven't been completely slacking - I have been posting on my family blog regularly. Since the whole fam (both sides) reads that, I can't really vent or bitch about normal wife/mom stuff. So I'm back to this blog! I'm sure most of my "loyal readers" have deserted me by now, but that's ok. I'm doing this mostly for me!

So if you've stayed with me, thanks. And...stay tuned! :)
