My first Mother's Day

Sunday May 11, 2014 was my first mother's day as a mother. Holy smokes. For some reason that feels really weird to say. Last mother's day I remember being in a terrible mood because at that time Aaron and I were unsuccessfully trying to get pregnant, and the combo of my hormone therapy with an already unstable temperament made for a not so enjoyable day - especially for the people around me. This year was also tearful, but for happy reasons =)

I woke up to a pancake breakfast cooked by chef Brandon and sous-chef Aaron, and a gorgeous giant bouquet of flowers.

After breakfast Aaron asked me to check Brandon's diaper to see if there was anything in it. Well there was, a beautiful crystal bracelet (no, there was nothing else in there with the bracelet).

Then it was off to church for a Mother's Day service, and then after that we had brunch with my family at the Country Club - yes, the same country club where we had my baby shower. Did I mention they changed the rule about wearing denim the day AFTER my shower? FYI : I rocked a denim jacket over my maxi-dress this time =)

Later we went from brunch straight to the pool to soak up some sun and practice Brandon's back-stroke.

After splashing around for a while and discreetly trying to hide Brandon's vomit in the pool water, we went back home for a cook-out with Aaron's family. We spent the rest of the night hanging out at home and playing games. A perfect mother's day <3
