My 1st Mother's Day!!!

My 1st Mother's Day weekend was wonderful!!

Saturday night Nana and Gramps babysat so Corey and I could enjoy a night on the town! We caught a 5:00 movie - "Ghosts of my girlfriends Past" - it was very cute. Then we headed to Macaroni Grill for dinner. Good food, good company, good conversation! It was a nice night out and Cooper had a blast with Nana and Gramps!

On Sunday, Nana, Uncle Aaron and Brooke got up with Cooper in the morning so I got to sleep in till 8:30 - woohoo!!Corey brought me breakfast in bed - coffee, cantaloupe, pancakes and sausage - yummy!!! I could get used to this treatment! I received a fabulous spa package (manicure, pedicure, massage and facial) that I can schedule sometime in the near future. I can't wait!!! My mom and I got pedicures in the afternoon - I feel like a new woman! Mom and Dad left around two. Corey, Cooper and I took a three hour nap after they left. I love naps! Later that evening we took an hour walk around the neighborhood. It was a great way to end the weekend!

I received this email from a friend in honor of Mother's Day...it's so true I wanted to share with all of the other Moms and Mom-To-Bes.

Before I was a Mom -I slept as late as I wanted and never worried about how late I got into bed. I brushed my hair and my teeth everyday.

Before I was a Mom -I cleaned my house each day. I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom -I had never been puked on - Pooped on - Spit on - Chewed on, or Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and My thoughts. I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom -I never held down a screaming child so that doctors could do tests...or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom -I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put it down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom -I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important.

Before I was a Mom -I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never known The warmth, The joy, The love, The heartache, The wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mom.

Happy Belated Mother's Day to all the Mom's out there!!! Thanks for making the world a better place and keeping the human race going!!!

The day my life change forever for the better! I absolutely love being Cooper's MOM!!!!
