The differences between last years Mothers day and this years:-
Last year - spent a sleepless night at my parents house to be closer to the hospital so we could have an early morning visit.
This year - slept blissfully and even managed to sleep in a little because hubby got up early with Zack.
Last year - had a Mothers day breakfast sans child and felt very self-conscience as well as anxious to finish so I could get to the hospital to see my baby.
This year - skipped breakfast in favour of a leisurely shower and opted for a Mothers day lunch at home to avoid dealing with a cranky baby at a restaurant.
Last year - no gifts or cards because both hubby and I were too busy and stressed to think about it.
This year - adorable hand-painted flower pot and cards from Zack & my puppy. Also, the best gift of all, a smiling child!
Last year - depressing dinner with my in-laws, during which I felt too sad to eat.
This year - a lovely visit from my parents for gift exchange and a mere phone call to the in-laws resulting in a stress-free day!
All in all a successful day with many contrasts to last year. I think I'd like to consider this my first mothers day because not only was it a wonderful day but I definitely felt like a mom this year!
