Happy Mother's Day!

What a great weekend!  Mother's day has always been a tough one for me - I love my mom and appreciate her oh so much, but there has always been that part of me that wondered if I would ever be able to celebrate Mother's day with a child of my own.  It's a really tough holiday for infertiles and I'm sure it is for a lot of women that have lost children or lost their mothers.  Please continue to pray with me for all those ladies out there that are still waiting for their first mother's day.  Today was bittersweet as I celebrated with my baby girl, but thought alot about all those ladies in my life that are still waiting.

We were able to head up north yesterday to see Brad's grandparents and then my family.  Makenna had a blast hammin' it up for everyone.

Resting up for the big day ahead of her!

Thank you for a wonderful Mother's Day weekend, baby girl!  I couldn't ask for a sweeter baby.  Yesterday when Brad and I were driving back to Milwaukee, we were talking a bit about Mother's Day and how I was excited to be finally celebrating it and I mentioned (with tears streaming down, of course) that as much as infertility sucked, I would go through it all over again if it meant having Makenna in my arms today.  He was sweet enough to write in my card from her this morning that she loves me so much that she would be frozen all over again if it meant having me for a mommy.  I thought that was sweet.  I am one lucky mama and wifey!
