While I was pregnant I thought I knew what I was doing and that it wouldn't be that difficult to fit a child into our lives. This was true and OH SO WRONG at the same time. She did fit perfectly in and it feels like she's always been with us... But I had no idea that would be so difficult financially, physically and mentally! All the hardships just give me the motivation to do better.... Bills hard to pay? Let me go back to school so that we can lessen that worry in a years time.
This is Michael's weekend to work. Last night Makenna decided that she didn't want to sleep... oh and she decided that while she was not sleeping she would scream for "dada wan dadda dada dada wan me dada." She finally went to sleep at 15 till midnight. But quickly woke back up again and again! I ended up getting about 2 hours of sleep totally... not straight. The 2 hours are made up with 15-30 min increments over the night. This morning Michael woke me with breakfast in bed, flowers and a card. After I ate he ordered me back to bed to get more sleep. I've got it made! I (obviously) missed our sacrament meeting and was going to go with my parents, but I slept through my alarm. Opps!
Happy Mother's Day to EVERY woman out there! I believe that every woman should be celebrated on this day because of the influence women tend to have in childrens lives.
I am so grateful for my mom! She is a great woman and set a great example for me and my siblings! She also is an endless well of advice and tips for making it through this crazy life! And she has made going back to school possible for me! Makenna loves her Meemaw!
I'm also endlessly grateful for my mother-in-law! She raised Michael to be a wonderful man! She is a great Busia (Grandma) to Makenna and is always finding ways to help us out!

She is such a cute little cheeser! And thank you for the compliment. I have been blessed as the mother of all four of you. Each one of you have taught me some major lessons and I cannot imagine what life would have been like without every one of you and now we have your wonderful spouses in our clan and the grandbabies! I love you and am so proud of you for going back to school and getting your next degree. It will bless your family's lives in so many many ways and when you are my age, you will look back and realize just how much nursing knowledge complements all areas of motherhood and life! And I am proud of you for taking charge of your health and setting the good example for your little cheeser!
