M-Day.

To all of my readers, I want you to know I’m thinking of you. To those of you that have children or are expecting children, have a wonderful day.

To those of you who are still in the trenches, wondering when it’ll be your turn… I am sending you good thoughts today. May it happen soon.

Dear Baby O:

It’s THAT day again.

Mother’s Day.

It wasn’t that long ago when I thought I’d never be able to celebrate it.

But here you are, somehow, against all odds.

And I’m not sure I will ever have the words to tell you just how much I love you.

How my heart leaps in absolute happiness when I come into your room each morning and you smile at me.

How much I just love WATCHING you learn, and grow, and discover the world around you.

How snuggling with you when you’re sleepy is my favorite pasttime.

You have brought such joy into my life, and every day I spend with you makes me want to be a better person. A better mom.

So on this Mother’s Day, I want to thank YOU.

Thank you for fulfilling me in ways I could only dream.

Love always,

your mama
