My parents also had some flowers delivered to me on Saturday that was a fun surprise. I was having a pretty hard night on Friday, just feeling over whelmed with our messy house, pregnancy & life and so I cried to my mom how much I missed having her around. It really breaks my heart that we have to live so far away. Well I think she felt bad for me and sent me flowers when I have been too tired and overwhelmed to even send out Mother's day gifts to her or Danny's mom. Maybe tomorrow they'll get mailed. haha..
I also cried at church when the little primary kids got up to sing their songs.. so tender. Last year Mother's Day was a horrible mess.. I couldn't keep my emotions in check and left church early and cried all the way home because they gave me a mother's day chocolate, after my miscarriage I felt like I was far from being a mother and it broke my heart... This year is of course, was so different...
My heart is overwhelmingly FULL with gratitude that we've been blessed to bring a little one into our family. I can't believe that it's finally happening!! On the flip side, my heart really goes out to those women in my ward/life who I know are trying to get pregnant and still can't. I know their pain, I felt it for 3 LONG years... I want to give them a big HUG and say that the Lord knows them and will somehow bless them with their desire to become a mother.
I also want to say how grateful I am for my mother! Being an only child I never realized that she too went through the struggles of having more children after me. It wasn't her choice to have only one child, but I'm glad she at least had me! :) I feel like my bond with her has grown as she's been able to understand me more than anyone else could through all of this. My mom has always gone above and beyond for me & Danny and is a great example in our lives.
As a pregnancy side note:
I'm really starting to show now that I'm 17 weeks and have gained 6 lbs... I've really been trying hard to be careful and limit my meal portions. I don't want to pack on the weight cuz I really believe it will be hard to get it off!! Maybe I'll post pics soon... Anyway I can't wait for my little one to come... now onto the name game... what will we call her?! Our favorites so far are.... wait I can't tell you that.. it would ruin the surprise!! But if you have any name suggestions please leave a comment :)

Gotta love those Unofficial mother's day celebrations :)
PS I just finished off the last chocolate truffle from the box you gave me at the shower... yum!
awwww... you're mom is so sweet! What a blessing to have someone in your life that understood the struggles of infertility! I know the people in my life that help me through that time were a HUGE blessing :) I also think about the girls on Mother's Day that are having ahrd time getting pregnant. My heart goes out to them also. It's such a hard day to be reminded that you want to be a mom more than anything in the world. :)
