Happy Mother's Day!!!

Hello All! Sorry it's been so long since my last post. I've gotten in trouble by Angela again. She wants more photos! :) I can't say I blame her, I'm constantly checking

 theirs too. It's a great way to keep in touch with family. Anyway, I've been waiting to post until something interesting happens and now I guess since I'm "showing" I can post some of those photos.

     I also wanted to post some photos of my first Mother's day. I didn't mention anything to Steve about Mother's Day coming up because I wanted to see if he

 thought this was really my first Mother's Day and see if he was going to do

 something for me. So I got to church and people kept saying "Happy Mother's Day" to me. Well I didn't realize how important it was to me or how much I wanted Steve

 to recognize it until others kept telling me and he hadn't yet. I was so emotional

 about it and almost cried every time someone told me. Well, after Steve sat down at the beginning of the service he leaned over and said "Happy Mommy's Day. It's your first - you're a mommy," and I started bawling right there in church. I had to

 end up leaving and getting myself together. Then he said he was going to take me out to eat anywhere I wanted to go. Just the acknowledgement was enough for me, but then he came home to pick me up and take me out to eat and had the most beautiful bouquet of flowers and the perfect card - which  made me cry - AGAIN. It

 was a big tearful day for me. So we went out to eat - Olive Garden - um- and it was the perfect day. He made me feel so special and really like a mommy. During

 pregnancy you get so used to just saying you're "pregnant" and you're going to have

 a baby, but this was the first time, really, that the word "mommy" was attached to it and it was SO special for me. 

    Anyway, I am 32 weeks along (beginning my 8th month already!) and things are

 going great. I feel wonderful and the baby is moving lots! I LOVE that feeling and am really going to  miss it. Steve and I can sit and watch the baby moving around - mostly rolling, but some kicking too. Steve even got to feel it when the baby had hiccups last. It was neat! I am so enjoying this process. It's truly a blessing from

 God. On a different note, I have already had 1 shower and have a few more coming in the next month so be looking for pictures of those too. 

    Enjoy the pics. :)

Me in my maternity clothes for the first time - 29 weeks. Steve picked this top out. I actually love it. :)
