Today was my very first Mother's Day. I woke up to make a bottle and on the table was a card and lots of candy from "Davis". It was really sweet of Bobby. It's hard to believe I'm a Mom, but at the same time...it's not. I have been ready to be a Mom for years now, working in a daycare, having nieces and nephews, and possibly my age, 30...have all prepared me pretty well. There is nothing about motherhood that I find super challenging. I think it comes pretty natural to me, and hopefully will continue to.
The plan for the day is to go to Grandma's house, and not only celebrate Mother's Day, but also celebrate Kim and my birthday. When we got there I could see my Dad and Hailey jump up and run to the door. My Dad came rushing outside to grab the baby, because he knew with all the people inside he was going to have trouble getting time with him. It's been really fun watching how happy Davis makes my family. It's been awhile since we have had a baby in the house, so I think that has something to do with it as well, but everybody is just smitten over him.
We planned the meal potluck style, as always, to help make it easy on Grandma. She offered to provide the pop since that is the easiest thing for her to do. She was sure to stock up on Diet Coke, because she knows how much our family drinks, even Hannah and Hailey, these days. Well, it wasn't long before the Diet Coke started to run out, and Bob was going to have to make a trip to the basement so he could restock the fridge. Well, now that Bob drinks Diet Coke, one a day at seven p.m., he was not too enthuased by how much people were drinking. He started throwing a fit about how it's not fair that we were all drinking their Diet Coke, and why do they always have to provide pop...blah, blah, blah. It was actually quite comical, but of course everybody tried to explain to him why it was important that he share, and that he never provides any food but yet eats enough for two. He didn't get it. From now on we all know what we are getting Bob for Christmas and his birthday. DIET COKE! :)
The rest of the day was spent hanging out with family, and taking pictures like we always do. It was a good day.
