Mother's day this year was very special. This most likely will be my last "first" mother's day with a new baby so it did feel a little extra special this year.
This day marked the first one with our little Lucy girl.
From the beginning I always said that she was our miracle baby. She is one strong fighter and I just love her to pieces. She's made our family complete and I couldn't have asked for a more perfect little girl for us. I was so blessed to carry her and now I am so blessed to be her mom. I still can't believe she's here sometimes!
Mother's day started with Brandon helping out with Aubrey while Lucy and I slept for a little bit longer. He made coffee cake for breakfast and then it was time for some gifts. Aubrey and Brandon colored a card and on the back Brandon wrote down some things that Aubrey liked about me: "You're great, "You make me feel good," and "I love coloring with you." I thought this was pretty cute. She of course said, "I don't know" when Brandon asked her those prompting questions, but I loved her answers in the end. Then I got a present from Brandon. It was a beautiful mother's ring! He got me a stackable ring when Aubrey was born and this was another beautiful ring that now stood for Lucy. I looked at it and just started to cry. It was so pretty and full of so much meaning and sentiment for me. I just love it! Brandon later said that day that he had peaked in his present giving :). I'm sure I won't be getting anything like this for a very long time, but it was nice to be spoiled by my best friend.
The day continued with a lunch out and homemade chocolate mousse (yes, Brandon made the mousse) in the evening with my mom and dad. The day seemed to just fly by, but I felt so loved and so special and I owe a lot of that to Brandon. He has stood by my side through each pregnancy and he has been such a great dad to Aubrey and I know he will be to Lucy. He is an awesome guy and I can't believe he's mine sometimes! He loves me and these girls so much and it shows by the sacrifices he makes for our family. He definitely made me feel like a very special mom on this day :).
So, here are the Pierce girls. I cannot believe God has blessed us with two beautiful, intelligent, healthy little girls. I am seriously so lucky to be their mom and I hope and pray and I can lead these girls to be the woman they were created to be. Being a mom of two now has proved to be challenging at times (especially with the little sleep I've been getting :) ), yet I wouldn't trade any of those hard moments for the world. It is by far the hardest job, but so rewarding and fulfilling. I pray for wisdom and strength to be the best mom I can be to these wonderful girls. Thank you for a wonderful mother's day!! I love you girls so much! Te quiero mucho!! :)
