Happy Mother's Day

[mellybrelly]

Happy Mother's day to all the moms on my list, the stepmoms, the women who have stepped in to be mother figures to people, to the preggos on my list, and extra love to the women who are still wanting to be moms but it hasn't happened yet. Even more love to those of you who have lost your moms, or don't have a mom in your life for whatever reason.

Tim succeeded in making me cry this morning, he's just too sweet to me. Yesterday Reagan gave me a card and in it she wrote "thank you for reading to me", which I thought was just awesome. There was also a gift card to my favourite used bookstore, which makes me happy.

Today there were tulips sitting on the kitchen table, and a card from the unborn baby, which almost made me cry and then a card from Tim thanking me for being a good stepmom and talking about our baby, which really made me cry. He also got me a Home Depot gift card so I can go and pick out flowers for our garden. These are the kinds of gifts that make me very happy.

We both slept in this morning, which was nice. Tim's going to put up the crib today, which I'm excited about. I ordered some diaper covers from blueberrydiapers.com, they have a sale today, buy one get one for free. I wanted to buy some Thirsties duo covers first, but these were a pretty good sale, and have good reviews.

Miss Reagan today, but in her card to her mom that we made, she wrote "Thank you for taking the day off to spend it with me", and I know that having a full day with her mom means so much to her, and I'm happy she's spending it with her mom. I'm glad summer is almost here and they can have some full days together, it has to be hard to just see each other after school 4 days a week and that's it. I can see Reagan craves time with her mom.


I think Tim and I might go to IHOP. Hahah, he suggested it his half sleep state, but I've been craving breakfast food ever since. We both need to call our moms first!

Whee! Happy Mother's Day to you too! ♥ Those cards from Tim are just lovely, I think I'd have been in tears too.

They were so sweet, he really made my day. I think it's also emotional because I've wanted this for so many years, and here it is, just 11 or so weeks and I'll have a baby in my arms!

Happy Mother's day to you, in your new role as stepmom!

Thank you! ♥ Hopefully, within five or six years, I'll be in the same position as you - both a stepmom and a mommy to my own little one! :) I can't believe there's only 11 weeks to go!! That time will fly by.

I hope you are, I think you'll have fun as a mom!

I hope the time flies, I have heard that third trimester crawls slowly, but it can't be worse than my first trimester. (I hope!)

Have a wonderful day. I'm sure it's extra special since you are pregnant ;)
Reagan is lucky to have you and so is the little bug inside :P

What kind of work does Ada do? Just curious.

It is kind of extra special this year! I can't wait for next year!!

Ada is an xray tech at a hospital, she works Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Last year it was just Saturday Sunday, but she's back to her old schedule now.

Happy Mother's Day! :D The morning sounds wonderful. :) Did you wind up going to IHOP? Mmmm pancakes. :D

[mellybrelly.livejournal.com]

We did go to IHOP. I had eggs and toast and hashbrowns, and ate one of his pancakes. Different story than last time I went, when I barely ate one of his pancakes and didn't even bother ordering for myself, morning sickness was so bad.
