I never thought that I would be given the chance to celebrate Mother's Day this year...not like this anyways! Oh sure, I had been dreaming about the day....anticipating what it would feel like when I could hear those words and it be because I actually was a mother! But, the tests were always negative and so I thought at least another year would go by before I'd be given this opportunity (however it might come about).
That's what I get for thinking! Obviously, God had a different plan in mind and May 8th was one special day for me! Between the numerous phone calls, emails, Facebook messages, and cards, I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with joy! Not only did I receive so many thoughtful words but my sweet brother-in-law, sister-in-law, and nephew sent me a delicious surprise that made my day that much more special!!! Check out the gorgeous strawberries below....how adorable are they?!?! Thanks so much Ricky, Kristin, & Jay for the awesome gift and for making me feel so special on my very first mother's day!

I just feel so blessed to be a mom and I truly hope that I make God proud that he chose me to be the twins' mommy :) I am truly looking forward to celebrating this day in 2012 with my girls :)
*Through this process, I have learned even more so that it doesn't take "birthing" a child to be a mom! I hope that all the moms out there (whether you have children biologically, through adoption, or even those that might be the only mom a kid can count on) were made to feel special on this day....because you truly are!*
