My 1st Mother's Day

Today was my first Mother's Day, and it was perfect.  I do not believe I ever fully understood the greatness of this day until I was able to experience it for myself for the first time.  We had a lazy morning, and Ramsey (Dad) gave me flowers, M&M's and a card which brought tears to me eyes.  Blake thanked me for giving him the greatest gift, Miss Ramsey, and today and everyday I am thankful he gave me Ramsey.  Nana came over to have lunch at the house and we finished the day with a walk in the neighborhood.  God has blessed me with not only a child, but a FAMILY.

Motherhood was not something I expected so quickly.  I will never know the struggles or emotional roller coaster many couples go through to create a family.  Honestly, nothing in life has come easily for me except becoming pregnant with Miss Ramsey.  I remember once we confirmed we were pregnant, I prayed one night and thanked God for the wonderful little gift he planted inside of me.  As I watch her grow and change each day, I am humbled and ever so grateful to God to have been chosen to be a Mother and especially to be Ramsey's mother. 

Ramsey, I love you from the depths of my heart and with every ounce of my being.  I pray that God enables me to be everything that you need and I will work everyday to live up to the high expectations I have set for myself as your Mother.  I hope to make you proud and I hope to make you feel loved each and everyday.  I hope to influence you in ways and develop you to become the best person you can be, and I pray that God will enable us to experience many joyful moments and have a wonderful life as a family.  You are so loved and I am honored to me your Mother.  Love, Mommy
