Happy Mother's Day to Me?!?

I know there has been a very long blog silence, but it was for a good reason.



I'm here to officially announce that this time next year- I'll be a mom! (Weird- right?!)

(8 weeks)

We have been telling friends and family over the past month or so, but we told them to keep it on the "DL" because it was still early. Well now that I'm almost 13 weeks and being that it's Mother's Day- I couldn't think of a better day to announce it to the world!

 (12 weeks)

I understand it's still kind of early but I have known this information for over 2 months now, so it's been very hard not to post something about what has been going on in my life. I've actually still been blogging, but just not posting- so there are going to be posts coming up filling you in on all the events leading up to now!

However, being that it's Mother's Day, I can't forget about the moms in my life!

To my mom- who has always worked very hard to provide for her family, but still manages to be there for all the important events in our lives.

To my grandma- who has become one of my best friends over the years, and the first person in my family I had to tell my baby news to. She loves so much and cares so much, I just hope that some day I can be as awesome of a grandma as she has been to me!

To my mother-in-law- who has been a part of my life for almost half my life (go on 13 years now). She has welcomed me as part the family and has treated me like the daughter she's never had. Now with this baby, our families will be officially connected for the rest of our lives and I wouldn't want it any other way!

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms, mother-in-laws, grandmas, great grandmas, and moms-to-be! May your day be full of love and joy!
