Mother Day's 2010

A year ago I was trying to wrap my brain around the idea of having a baby of my own…and having the title “mom”. I knew I have always wanted kids at a young age but it felt so preposterous it was happening NOW -- or in a few short weeks.

I was never nervous about the idea of giving birth and I felt prepared. I know very well that giving birth was rightly the least of my fears. I make decisions now -- sometimes several times a day -- that quicken more fear in my heart than the thought of

giving birth ever did.

To keep from going crazy during the last few weeks of my pregnancy, I was busy cleaning, and re-cleaning our house, packing, and re-packing my hospital bag, walking Maggie, and sending Brett on Arctic Circle runs for a Nutter Butter shake. It’s fun to look back at the EXCITEMENT Brett and I had in anticipation for a new baby

This was my 1^st Mother’s Day with a baby that I could physically hold in my arms, and let me tell you – it was more wonderful than I ever imagined it to be. I feel so blessed to have Micah as my son. He is such a gift from the Lord! I was spoiled BIG TIME this weekend. It's going to be hard to top this Mother's Day.

It's pretty easy being his mommy...

Eileen and I after our massages in Sun Valley.

The water was so warm! (Not too warm though...totally safe for baby!)

Getting him ready for his b-day bash pool party...he THRIVES in the water.

I woke up to go to the bathroom and this my vision coming back-- Buddy and his Papa in a big ol' king bed. L.O.V.E!

Mother's Day breakfast. MMMMMMMMMMMM!

The vase is ICE!

Dinner the night before....

Playing with Grandma in the kitchen. He looks so itty bitty. I love it!
