I thought this might be a tough day and although there were some tough moments, it was good.
We spent the evening with my family and I'm so thankful for my own mom. She has been a beautiful example of a wife and mother to me over the years and I hope to be able to be that kind of mom to my children.
I am also so thankful to our future child's birth mom for making what I'm sure was or will be a terribly hard decision, but one that allows Ian and I to experience the joy of parenting. We will forever be grateful to her.
I am also thankful to my husband for making this day special for me. He has a great sense of humour and a soft heart. Here's what I got this morning...
(In case you can't see, it says "To: Mommy")
He wrote me a letter as if it was from our baby. I couldn't help but shed a few tears! I also love that fact that he took the time to write the letter in "kid looking" printing! What a great gift!
I hope all you mothers out there had a wonderful day as you are truly blessed with your children and I hope to celebrate fully with you next year!
