My Crazy, Sweet Journey to Motherhood...: Sunday May 13, 2012 - 11.5 Weeks Old

Today was my very first Mother's Day!!! I still cannot believe it! I cannot believe that I actually a Mom. A real Mom. All my dreams have come true with my beautiful baby girl. She is the absolute love of my life. She is my everything, my heart, my soul and the reason why I exist. I was put here to be this precious baby's Mom. To take care of her, love her, protect her and to teach her the meaning of love. I never thought that I would be blessed with a baby and to have Tatum is beyond everything that I could have hoped for. She is absolutely amazing and I love her more and more with every day. We truly hit the jackpot with this baby. She is the best baby and my absolute everything. I cannot say that enough!

I celebrated with Rich and Tatum in the morning with Rich making my breakfast. He also gave me a beautiful card and necklace with a Mom and baby on it. It is so sweet and I love it! I then spent the afternoon with my Mom, sister and Ashley. It's also Ashley's birthday today…the big 21! We went to lunch and saw a movie. It was nice to get out and see a movie but I missed Tatum so much!! I cried when I came home because I was sad that I didn't spend the entire day with her but it was fun and she had fun with Daddy. He wanted me to have some time away and I did appreciate it that too.

I had a great first Mother's Day and I am so blessed that I could celebrate it for the first time! I can't wait for the coming years with Tatum and all the cute cards and gifts that I am sure she will make for me! Those will be absolutely precious! I love being a Mom but I especially love being Tatum's Mom! She is beyond amazing. I love her so much!!!
