today is my first mother's day as a mother (even if i'm slightly bending the rules). you aren't born yet, so there is a little gray area and a some debate as to whether or not i officially fall in the "mother" category. but, i know that after 34 full weeks of nurturing and protecting you, i am a mother-bear.
today, i am spending the day cleaning and organizing the apartment - not exciting by any stretch of the imagination. you didn't prepare me breakfast in bed, you didn't bring me a bouquet of beautiful roses and you didn't make me a handmade card with crayon drawings and way too much glue. and i was more than okay without those things. i got the best thing....i got a sweet wake-up call with your kicks and rolls. i have felt you move with me all morning. you were there when i was making the bed and when i started the laundry. your gentle movements make me smile and make me appreciate being a mother. officially or unofficially...i am so excited to be your mother. i'm a pretty lucky lady.
daddy is in phoenix visiting with chuck. he'll be home very early morning...long after midnight. which means that you and i will have spent our first mother's day together, alone. thank you for going gentle on me with the kicks. thank you for not using my bladder as a trampoline. right now, those are the best gifts i can ask for.
you'll be here soon and we can't wait! i am so excited to hold you and show you your room. a little over a month now. and if you could figure out a way to show up on june 21st (just in time for father's day), that would be great! you are something that i can't top, even if i tried!
can't wait to meet you, my little man.
love,
mama
