Mother's Day

Well I think this is my last post in order to get caught up on my several weeks of going MIA. This was my second Mother's Day and by far the best. I was served breakfast in bed which was a delicious egg sandwich. Hayden helped whisk the eggs and I didn't have any crunchy shells in mine. Then I was given the best gift. Hayden made a 3 dimensional impression of his hand. It was perfect. I have it sitting on my desk at work. I know his hands won't stay this small for long. I got a nice card from Hayden and a separate card from Jeff. Then I got a willow tree figurine of a pregnant lady. I thought this was all too much but discovered that the baby that is growing inside had somehow managed to not only know it was mother's day but also was able to get me a gift. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised because Hayden (while still safely tucked away inside my womb) got me a set of outdoor porch lights the year I was pregnant with him. My dear husband is very thoughtful and surprises me more and more with small gestures of kindness. I love you Jeff. We have created a very blessed family and I look forward to all that is still to come and love that our family is still growing. Thanks for all the hard work and extra effort you have been putting in these last few months with me feeling less than fifty percent. It doesn't go unnoticed or unappreciated. It makes me only love you more and teaches Hayden what the meaning of a true dad and husband means.
