Happy Mother's Day!

Hello Everyone,

Today's my first Mother's Day! Very exciting. Matt took Coopie and me out for a wonderful surprise brunch to the West Side Lounge. He behaved himself pretty well. And so did Matt! Just kidding.

It's so different to celebrate Mother's Day as a mother, instead of just as a daughter. I've thought today about what it means to be a mom and how different my life is now than last Mother's Day. Umm, I slept a lot more before. The only poop I "interacted" with was...my own. I had so much more time to do whatever I wanted to. I went to bed after 9:30pm and enjoyed a good buzz from a cocktail after a few (as opposed to just one). I also didn't get to watch a little human from the start of his life. I didn't get to enjoy his adorable smile. I didn't get to hold him while he fell asleep on my shoulder. I didn't get to share funny stories with Matt about the little guy and have a good laugh. So much has changed!

So for all you moms out there, Happy Mother's Day! Take a moment to think about your life without your child, and how lucky you are. Then go stop your child from crying because he has a poopy diaper!
