Mother's Day/Motherhood

moms are pretty much superheroes in my eyes.

i mean, they take it all on. they do every job in the book when taking care of their family.

it's kind of amazing. 

i am always in awe of seeing those moms who have tons of kids and still have so much energy and positivity. they love life and are full of it. 

i love moms! 

and i love being a mom.

it has been my favorite calling in life so far and i feel so blessed to be able to do this. 

some days are harder than others..but those days make the good days even better.

it's so weird to think that piper wasn't even in my life just a few 7+ months ago. it's weird! i feel like she has been with me my whole life..and i believe that she has. i totally believe that my children have been watching me from above the past 25 years of my life. and i've have some very strong spiritual moments involving my children. things that i hold so dear to my heart.

it's exciting (and somewhat terrifying) that my life as a mom has just begun. there is so much ahead and so much to look forward to. hard to believe that my baby will eventually go to college, get married, have babies of her own...what!? i can't even think about that yet. 

first few moments of meeting sweet p.
what a sweet reunion it was!
p.s. this picture is a little deceiving..it kind of looks like im basking in the moment, but im pretty sure i fell asleep because i was so exhausted from the 20 hours of labor that just took place and kicked my butt.

p.s.s. this is random, but did anyone else's nose swell up when pregnant!? mine got huge and i didn't even realize until afterwards when i looked at pictures. what the? oh the things our womanly bodies have to endure...

anywho, happy belated mothers day to all my favorite mamas. 

and an especially happy mothers day to MY MAMA. 

she is the bees knees. the cream of the crop. the top dolla.

but for real, she's the best. 

i love you mom!
thanks for always putting up with me and loving me no matter what.
