Happy Mother’s Day To Me!

Today is the first Mother’s Day where I’m a mom.  It’s kind of strange.  Jude (actually Andy) got me a gift card to Ann Taylor so I can buy some new clothes for work.  Today we will be spending time with Andy’s family.

Several people have asked me what I like most about being a mom.  That’s kind of a hard question to answer, but I’ll take a shot:

  • Having such a beautiful little creature to love.
  • Being able to watch him grow and change each day.
  • Knowing that I know little baby Jude better than anyone.  I’m getting pretty good as figuring out what he wants because he has a few distinct cries.
  • Being the one that people hand him off to when he starts to fuss.
  • Knowing that he is a blank slate and we can teach him and shape who he becomes.
