Mama's Day

I try to keep this blog from being solely a baby/kids blog, although as Johan gets older and starts saying hilarious things, that might be hard. Nevertheless, tomorrow is Mother's Day and it's cheesy Hallmark made up holiday, but the idea of celebrating women who care for and mother children is one I can get behind.

Being Johan's mom is something that makes me feel wonderful. To think that 2 years ago I had only recently found out I was going to have a kid, and that I didn't even know Johan is so strange. Since the moment he was born, he has been at the forefront of every decision I make. From casting my vote to deciding if I can go to happy hour after work, Johan is a consideration. I'm certainly not a perfect mom (yesterday Johan cheered when "Family Guy" came on the TV....ee-yee) but I do the best I can, and think that so far, I'm not doing too shabby. Most of all, I feel grateful for the opportunity to raise this child and the opportunity to experience maternal love. It can say that it is true that there is nothing like the love you feel for your child--it is an incredible experience to feel absolute unconditional unwavering selfless love. I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Happy Mother's Day.
