My 1st Mother's Day!

You can put this on the list of "Best Days of My Life". Today is a day I thought I might never get to celebrate and yet, here I am, Mommy to a beautiful baby boy. <3

Also, wife to the most amazing husband and Daddy of the same beautiful baby boy. <3

I awoke at 10am  to those two shining faces next to the bed! Vincent was smiling ear to ear and John was holding a tray with my breakfast (cheerios with banana slices cut into hearts)! I also got a homemade card with Vincent's "signature" on it. Vincent had already been fed, changed and dressed! They ran to the store while I enjoyed my breakfast. The plan was to get me a couple of Sunday papers but none of the papers had the right coupon inserts so my smart hubby didn't buy any! Instead, I got a rose and some chocolate. :)

Once we were all ready, we headed out to Pub 99 (at my request) to have my favorite lunch from when I was pregnant - Boneless Buffalo Wings followed by a Garden Salad w/ Ranch and a bowl of Broccoli Cheddar Soup. Vincent was cheerful and charming the entire time. It was so much fun! Also, while we were eating, a friend of mine messaged me to let me know she had a stack of extra coupon inserts for me! Once lunch was over, we went to get those and she got to meet Vincent for the first time! So excited!

I decided I wanted an ice cream, seeing as how I haven't had any in a wicked long time. We drove through DQ and I got a small cherry dipped twist. John got a cherry dipped chocolate and the best part was we got a "sweet deal" and only paid $3 total for the both of them!

After all that, we went to visit John's Mommy, Vincent's Grandma. Vincent brought her a card and a bouquet of peach tulips! We spent a while there with her, Vincent's Grandpa and Uncle David too! Vincent had some carrots...

...and played with Grandma's big elephant (he was pretty excited)...

...and then we put him on the floor and he was rolling all over the place! He almost rolled right into the kitchen! I tried to catch it on video but when I turned on the camera, he stopped rolling. I'm sure I'll catch it soon. We had some dinner, said good night and came home. 

Vincent's just gone to bed. He had a bath and his bottle, snuggled with me a little and then went to Snoozetown! I'm now enjoying some time with my hubby, catching up on SNL and Game of Thrones. I have thoroughly enjoyed this day and look forward to celebrating every Mother's Day for the rest of my life! This beautiful boy is MY son. I had a definite moment today where it hit me that I am his MOM. He will look to me in all the same ways I looked to my own mother for comfort, protection, love and lots of fun! I am so happy beyond measure! What a privilege. Happy Mother's Day, indeed. :)
