My very first mothers day.

Warning pictures.... (My camera was doing something weird though, so the lighting is weird :(

My mothers day was all I ever dreamed it would be. Mainly because I have a baby boy to call me mom that I can celebrate with. I dreamed of this day, I cried wondering if it would happen for me, and how long it would take. Here I am holding my angel baby in my arms now celebrating and its like a dream.



It all started on Thursday when I got a beautiful bouquet of tulips from my sweet baby boy (and daddy of course). They said "happy mothers day, love Coopy". I love them. I just smile each time I look at them. Then came Saturday. My parents came and helped Julian and I in the back yard. We are doing some MAJOR changes to our backyard and they helped all day work painstakingly in our yard. It was lots of heavy lifting and manual labor and they helped us so much. We couldn't be more thankful for their help.
Sunday:
I woke up and spent at 6:30 in the morning and spent time with my boys.



I couldn't sleep in for whatever reason and Julian got up with Cooper for me. I then went to jump in the shower. When I came out of our room I could smell food. I went to see what was going on and my husband had made a huge breakfast for us. It was SOOO good. We took some Mommy and Cooper pics. :)





We went to church with my family and then headed to my grandma's to celebrate with everyone. We spent most of the day at my grandma's enjoying family. I took way to many pictures on Sunday and some of them are of mom, Jamie (my sis in law), My neice Natalie, Coop and I. I love having special pictures like that.

We then went over to Julian's grandparents house (they raised him). We gave his Nana some gifts and spent some time there. At this point I was exhausted. Cooper had been napping allot all day but was still tired (I think he's having a growth spurt).



We went home to spend the rest of the evening at home just us. I gave Cooper a bath and was getting him all lotion-ed and ready for bed when Julian said "Do you want your gifts now". I said yes. First I got gifts from Just Cooper. It was so cute. I got some lotion, some nail polish, and a big puffy thing that removes makeup. Ha ha. Apparently Julian had taken Cooper to Ulta and let him just randomly grab things and whatever he grabbed is what he was giving me for mothers day. I painted my nails last night with the polish and it looks Gorg:)
Then came my gift from Daddy. He made me a blog book!!!! Its amazing. It has my entire pregnancy up to the first six weeks of Cooper's life in it. I am truly happy and I totally cried when I got it. I've been wanting one really bad for a long time. They are expensive. He found someone in our home town who made them but they couldn't do the top kind in time for mothers day. My husband was afraid I would be upset because its not as nice as he wanted it to be. He's crazy!!! I absolutely love it. It has every post and picture from the day I became pregnant to 6 weeks of age. I LOVE IT! I will have it forever to cherish and remember how things felt and what went on each week. It is truly such a great gift. In the back of the book was a free standing printout page of coupons that Julian had made. It has about 15 coupons on it. Things like "Julian will watch any girly movie with you without complaining", and "Julian will put away all the laundry", "Julian will wake up with Cooper early on one of your mornings", "Your choice of any restaurant on a night I don't want to cook", and "$100.00 shopping spree any time you want". I get to use them when I want. I am so in love with this man. He amazes me daily. Not just because he is so thoughtful but because he is such a great person, husband, father. He is wonderful. They made my day special and memorable.










I am so blessed and proud to be a mother and I love God and thank him daily for these gifts in my life. God you amaze me. :)
