This is the beautiful and amazing baby I woke up to on Mother's Day morning. I didn't just realize then but I realize each and every morning how lucky I am to be a mom...to be Ella's mommy. She has brought so much love into my life and I can't even remember my time without her. My heart just melts and life feels complete when she gives me a hug or says "ma ma ma" and reaches up for me. Mother's Day before was all about honoring my mom and recognizing all that she unselfishly does for her kids. I think when you become a mom yourself you have even more respect and honor for your own mother as this mother's day I did think of my mom as before but also thought about all that she has taught me about being a mom myself. I hope everyone gets to grow up with a mom as wonderful as mine and I hope I can be that mommy to Ella.
