Firstly, I must say Happy belated Mother’s Day to all those wonderful mommies and women out there who put in the never-ending hard work of care-giving and the endless supporting of their loved ones! We wouldn’t be half the people we are today without you, so thank you from the bottom of my heart!

We got to celebrate our first mother’s day yesterday and I have to admit…something felt off. Left and right people wished us a happy mother’s day, Grayson even made me some handmade paper flowers (His momma K helped, of course!), and it was so very sweet of them, but it felt weird. I mean I definitely feel like a mommy now…but I am totally still a newbie mommy in training here! I almost don’t feel deserving of flowers, cards, and pretty things on this special day of honoring all the women who have made us who we are today. They are the ones who have put their heart and soul into making us who we are! They have been through the ups and the downs. They have been at this for some time, putting in the long hours day after day, year after year!  They have earned their stripes! But us….we have only been at this for a couple months! We are not worthy just yet! Don’t get me wrong…I’ll never turn down some pretty flowers or a massage! (Or anything sparkly for that matter!) But, I do feel like I’m just starting this adventure of mommyhood and I’m not deserving of all the mommy praise on a day like Mother’s Day just yet. But, one day! One day, I will feel like I’ve put in the work! One day, I will gladly welcome breakfast in bed and pampering galore totally guilt-free!

Until that day, I will continue to be thankful for the many women in our life who have put in the work! Who have weathered the storms, been our rocks, and never left our sides. And I am so grateful that Baby Gray has these amazing women to be a part of his life too!
