Mothers Day #1

I had a great first Mothers Day. TJ gave me a Shark steam cleaner, which will really help me satisfy my nesting needs. He made me breakfast and lunch in bed (we have a late church time). I got lots of cards and a pair of great earrings from my parents. My dad gave me a great pacifier for the baby. It is pictured below.

It is strange that a day which previously brought a lot of sadness and tears has become a day of celebration (still with some tears). My heart was full of gratitude to my Heavenly Father for allowing me this opportunity to become a mother. I also had a great feeling of empathy for the many women who are still struggling to feel the blessings of motherhood. I will forever remember the empty and inadequate feelings I had as we struggled to begin our family. There is nothing I can say to these women who still struggle, only that I understand and know that Heavenly Father has a plan specifically for you.

Happy Mothers Day to all!
