We had a pretty normal day yesterday.  Bubby got us donuts for breakfast.  I held down the couch for a while.  We went to Barnes & Noble (I bought a baby book).  We took naps.  We went to visit his mom and I called my mom.  Bubby and I went out to dinner while Arwyn played with her cousins. Bubby gave me a very sweet card and gift cards to Sonic (does he know me or what?) & Lowe’s (for flowers).

Arwyn made all of these goodies for me at school (which let Bubby off the hook!).  She wanted to give it to me the day she brought it home, but I convinced her to wait until it was actually Mother’s Day.  She drew many pictures throughout the day and would bring them to me, telling me “Happy Mother’s Day!” each time.  This morning she asked if it was still Mother’s Day and when it was going to be Kid’s Day.  Um, isn’t every day Kid’s Day?

I wanted to write about how proud I am to be her mom, how anxious I am to mother this baby we are waiting for and how I couldn’t do it at all without Bubby by my side.  But so many people out there have said it so much better than I could.

Instead, I will just say that I am so very grateful.  To have Arwyn and her yet-to-be-born sister as my children, to have a wonderful mother-in-law whom I adore, and to have a better relationship with my own mom than I could have thought possible a few years ago.  To have my sister, who has supported me more than she could possibly know in the four years since I became a mama.  To the women who came before us, paving the way, and to the ones who are yet to come, following in our footsteps.  A very Happy Mother’s Day to us all.
