Mother's Day/Birthday

This year I got to celebrate my 28th birthday on Mother's day. It was a special day and I got spoiled like always. 28 years ago I got to be born to the best mother I could ever ask for. My mom has been there for me to dry my tears and make me laugh so hard I cry. She has taught me the true meaning of love and sacrifice. She is so loving and giving and gives so much of herself to others.  I am so grateful for my mother and for all that she does for me. She is such a great example to me and I am so thankful for the bond we have. I am also grateful for my mother-in-law and for all that she does for me as well. I have so many wonderful examples around me. For several years I would dread Mother's day, because I wanted to be a mother so bad. I focused on me instead of focusing on celebrating the wonderful mothers that I have.
For my birthday Shane took me to dinner and a movie the night before and gave me my birthday/Mother's day gifts. On Sunday we went to our sacrament and sunday school meetings, then surprised mom and went to her sacrament meeting. Later we celebrated at mom and dad's house and the men made dinner and cleaned up for us women. This year was so special being able to have my baby inside my belly and being able to feel him move. I cannot wait to meet my little guy and be his mommy.

23 week ultrasound

On May 1st we got to have another ultrasound done so they could look at his heart. At our last ultrasound he was so active that the ultrasound tech couldn't get a good enough look at it. This time at 23 weeks along he was calm as could be and his heartbeat was at 139 instead of the 145 at our last ultrasound. Thankfully everything checked out and looked great. It was so fun to see him again. I have been able to feel him move for the last 4 weeks and I have loved it. I can't wait until Shane can feel him move. We are so excited to meet this little guy!
