This time last year, I was feeling pretty down. My heart literally ached for a baby and I just didn't know when that would happen. It had already been almost 3 years since we started trying. Little did I know that 10 days later, my prayers would be answered! Three and a half months ago, I became a mommy. This is something I had dreamed about since I was a little girl....and I'm not kidding. I played with baby dolls until I was way too old to play with babies. I just always knew that I wanted to be a mommy...a stay-at-home-mommy. When it was apparent that becoming a mother was not going to be easy for me, I was so scared. In my heart I thought surely we will be able to have a baby, but I always had that fear that it might not happen. I just never in a million years, thought something I wanted so badly would be so hard to get. But let me tell you, he was well worth the wait!

| Pearce at 3 1/2 months old. |
It was my first Mother's Day and I am so thankful! We just took it easy Sunday. I got to go to Starbucks, go to the gym, and run a few errands while Chris took care of Pearce. That night, Chris cooked me an amazing dinner and I got a very special present, too!
 |
| As soon as I got home from the gym, Chris said he wanted to give me my gift. I started tearing up immediately when I saw the James Avery gift bag....hanging off of Pearce's arm!!! |
 |
| LOVE this necklace! It has Pearce's birth stone in the middle. |
 |
| Here's a close up of the garnet. Chris really surprised me with this!!! |
These are pictures Chris took before he gave me my gift. So funny!!
Then it was time for dinner! After working out, I was STARVING and was looking forward to the calories!
 |
| My appetizer of different cheeses, olives, and salami. |
 |
| Next course was lobster ravioli in the best sauce I have ever tasted!!! |
 |
Finally, time for a filet, with a merlot reduction sauce, and brussel sprouts. I was not sure about the brussel sprouts, but I loved them!!!
Chris, thank you for making my first Mother's Day so special! I loved everything you did! |
