Now that I'm a mother :)

I get to celebrate Mother's Day! It was a wonderful day spent with my beautiful family. Nelson got up with Kennedy early and let me sleep in, and when I did wake up, I got a wonderful breakfast. And I can't wait to get my massage Kennedy got me ;)

I've learned with Lindsay's boys to get pictures as early as possible before any spit-up / blow-out incidents. My mom got Kennedy this adorable little onesie, so we took some before heading to church.


My mom went with us, and then John joined us afterwards for lunch at Maudie's. Fun little side story: we saw our waiter from the day I went into labor. In true "becoming my mother" fashion, I had to go talk to him. He remembered it (and he wasn't just saying that because he pointed out where we were sitting and asked if Nelson's family was with us) and was so excited to hear we had left because I was having our baby!


After an afternoon of hanging out at home, we had dinner at my mom's. John wanted to hold Kennedy, and she loved sleeping on him until we were ready to eat :)



And we ended the night with some bathtime chats:


Followed by falling asleep in the living room:


I had such a wonderful first Mother's Day. Becoming a mom has never made me more thankful for everything my mom has done for me. All of the love and sacrifice has not gone unnoticed, and it's made me realize just how hard - and amazing - it really is. I'm so glad we could celebrate together :)
