The Apple of my Eye


Nearly four months ago, I was laying in a hospital bed when, in the early hours of the morning, a nurse wheeled you in and said "she wants her mommy!"
It's the first time I felt like a mom.
Now, I love being with you as much as you love being with me.
I will always remember how you snuggle up to my chest and suck your thumb.
I treasure every smile when I appear over your crib.
It's almost heartbreaking how fast you are growing.
My face is always sore from smiling so much.

I am so lucky to be your mommy.

And that is why, as my mom reminded me, EVERY DAY is Mother's Day. You will cherish them all!
