Happy Mother’s Day

Crissy May 14th, 2006

I love to any reason to celebrate: birthdays, weddings, holidays, Fridays, etc. Today’s celebration is one where I finally get to participate. Last year I was patiently waiting for the arrival of my first born so technically I didn’t have anyone there to call me mom.

I was as big as a house on Mother’s Day 2005. Ok, maybe not as big as a house, but that’s how I felt. Interestingly enough every family member that I spoke to today made sure to mention how large and uncomfortable I looked last year. Now, this is not how I wanted my first Mother’s Day to proceed, by being reminded of the size of my butt, however I let it go. It’s my first Mother’s Day and I intended to enjoy it.

Aiden must have wanted to celebrate too because he decided that he was going to wake us up at 6 am. This is not his usual time to rise, so I can only assume that he wanted to hug and kiss me and couldn’t wait one more second. I, however, did not think this was the ideal way to start my special day, so I rolled over hoping he would fall back to sleep.

Chris must have sensed this because my wonderful husband went against every fiber of his being and got up, changed, fed and played with our son until 8 am so I could sleep. He and Aiden came into the bedroom at that time because he claims Aiden couldn’t wait to give me my presents. I received a sign language kit and a pedometer, both items I have been talking about purchasing. It was a fantastic way to start the day.

We visited with my dad and step mom because my mom was not going to be around. It was a really pleasant visit and Aiden was his usual cute self. I don’t think I could have planned a better Mother’s Day myself.

Happy Mother’s Day to mothers everywhere!
