So I know, Mother's Day was last week, but I finally have time to write. Mother's Day was wonderful. Spent the day going to church and visiting family. My favorite moment was to hear Ethan say to me, "Happy Mother's Day." He has no clue what that means, but to hear my baby say something so special to me, just melted my heart.
Being a mother has been something I wanted ever since I was a little girl. When I finally had Ethan, my life changed. I have moments in my life that stands out to be the most memorable... ie.. graduation, marriage... having my first baby. Motherhood is hard. I never realized how hard until I brought Ethan home from the hospital and didn't sleep more than a few hours for the first 2 weeks. I never been so exhausted or overwhelmed in my life. Things got easier. I've been blessed with a little boy with a sweet, sensitive and shy personality. Tough in social situations, but so loving and obedient at home. Here I was thinking, oh, I can do this.
No, it hasn't been easy, but it has been so much fun watching Ethan grow and develop. He is learning new words and phrases daily. He surprises me what he comes up with next. This was what being a mother is like. Watching what I put my whole heart and soul into and seeing the reward. I am blessed to be Ethan's mom and I can't wait to see him be a big brother in a few weeks and see how he handles that role.
Life is good. This is what I always wanted. Ethan, I love being your mommy and hearing your sweet voice and seeing your adorable, mischievous smile even if it is 6:00 in the morning. I love you, baby!
