Mother's Day Weekend

I had a great weekend! I spent Saturday with my mom, dad, and sisters. No children, no husbands - which we love and can't live without. It was not planned for it to be just the five us but we ended up hanging out for hours. We laughed, debated, and cried. We had not had family time like that in a very long time.

I thought I was going to be a complete disaster (emotionally) on Sunday, but I actually had a blast with my silly family. The only thing that threw me off guard was that everywhere we went I was told "Happy Mother's Day!". I mean, everywhere. Even while picking up food at a drive thru. The cashier looked at me (I was in the passenger seat) and gave me and not my sister (mother of one) a carnation. This made me think, I am either getting old (it is about that time), I am gaining weight (looks like I have a two-day old at home), I look tired, or I need a new outfit. (I do not mean any disrespect to all of the mothers out there. I admire every single one of you.) But what I will believe is that I have a glow. The pregnant glow. That I look happy and my face reads "I am going to be a mommy soon". :)

Rob and I are probably the luckiest couple ever! Both of our mothers are amazing!! They are the best advisers, listeners, supporters, and friends. We don't know what we would do without either one. Moms, Happy Belated Mother's Day! We love you more than words can say.
