Oh my... this year I am so emotional with even the thought of Mothers day. I probably won't even be able to get through this post without the rain beginning to pour....I feel incredibly blessed beyond words. Thoughts of what being a Mother has meant to me flood my heart. I remember the moment I found out that I was pregnant with Mireya....the awe, fear, wonder, anticipation and excitement( just to name a few filled my heart.) I had no idea what I was getting into! I don't think anyone could have ever prepared me for what was about to come as I took on the role of a Mommy. I never thought I could love a person so much..those tiny fingers and toes..such little miracles that I would just stare at and admire. With each new child my heart grew and grew. Now I feel like I am going to burst! How can this already be my 9th Mothers day with # 5 on the way?! I am so grateful and thankful for the priviledge I have been given to love, nurture, teach and guide these little ones. They make my life complete and fill me with so much joy.
Michael and all our" littles" took me to my favorite restaurant today (The Cheesecake Factory) :) for Mothers day. We were all hoping that something on the menu somewhere, somehow might happen to sound somewhat appetizing. (This new little baby is sending my stomach on a roller coaster ride of nausea and I am not certain what might sound good or send me running to the bathroom at any given moment! Not a good combo on Mothers Day! After much time deciding I finally decided on one of my favorite asian dishes with chicken, veggies and rice. I was able to enjoy the first few bites and then I didn't care if I ever tasted it ever again! I just have to laugh...might as well!
As we were eating Michael and the kids went around the table and shared what they loved about Mommy. I prewarned them all that they would most definately get a waterworks show! I loved and treasured every word..."because you give me hugs and kisses" " Because you are the best Mom" and "beacause you love me" were a few of the sweet words that were so kindly spoken. Jude wrapped his prized magnet that we just bought him in California and wouldn't let me open it until we were all seated at the resaurant. He shoved it in my hands and said with the biggest grin in the world "Here Mommy, open it now!" I of course was SO excited and thanked him and hugged him at which he smiled his huge grin again and said " I love you because you love me and because I gave you my magnet!" If that doesn't melt your heart as a Mom I don't know what will! Those are the best kind of gifts in the whole world!
I am so thankful for the gift I have been given to be a Mommy...I will look back and treasure the dirty fingerprints all over my walls ( and footprints sometimes too ;p), the cheerios spilled on the floor, the piles of dirty laundry, big smiles, little giggles, loud voices, cuddles and story times, shopping trips with all of them, walks to the park, learning together, midnight visitors and snuggles, deep spiritual conversations and the most simple,silly talks, tickles, sticky floors, tripping over toys, chocolate faces ,little toes and fingers, crazy dancing, 6 in a king bed!, playing in water, I love you's, hugs and kisses, messy cooking and baking together, mud puddles..I could go on and on..the list would never end. I am blessed and so thankful.
