I've had a fabulous weekend. Mother's Day always brings mixed
emotions for me. I'm overwhelmed with how blessed I am to have my
perfect Mom, Debbie. And blessed to have a wonderful Mother-in-Law,
Sandi. I also reflect on all the women in my life who have helped and
supported me throughout my life, Grandmas, Aunts, sisters, cousins, etc.
It's more of a "women's Day" for me.
It was just a
few Mother's Days back that I was in the middle of miscarrying a hopeful
2nd pregnancy that came 8 months after my first pregnancy, which was
medically terminated for possible life threatening reasons. It was one
of the most trying and growing times of my personal life. And while I seriously disliked the "holiday" and tried to focus on my mom instead of being a mom - A certain appreciation developed for this special day we celebrate motherhood.
I love the talk by Sheri L Dew, "Are We Not All Mothers?" She says it all best.
My
heart is full to be so blessed to have Scarlett as my daughter. I get
to be a mom to one of the most beautiful, bright, tender, and sassy
daughter's of God who is blossoming with personality. I'm so excited to
meet my son, and recognize how blessed I am to have this opportunity to
mother anotherspirit entrusted to Seth and I.
Seth got me the most beautiful bouquet of flowers I've evvvvveeer received!! AND - he got me a crepe maker. Mmmmmm. That could be seriously bad news.
Saturday night, last night, we went and splurged at the IMAX and saw The Avengers in 3D - such a great movie! Extremely entertaining.
Today - We had cinnamon rolls for breakfast, had a seriously great time at church, and had a delicious steak dinner with Aubrey & Davin (and Preston & Claire). It really has been a very wonderful last few days.
You're such a great mom!
ReplyDeleteThe great news is that a crepe maker doesn't have to be bad news. There are awesome recipes out there for crepes made with whole wheat and cottage cheese, and they taste simply amazing. If you load them up with something savory, then have fresh fruit and a little whipped cream in the last couple for dessert, you can have quite a healthy meal. Can you tell I've been craving/eating crepes like crazy lately!
