When i was a little girl all i ever wanted to be when i grew up was a Mother...
i didn't want to be a school teacher...
or a nurse...
or even a firefighter...
i wanted to be a Mother...
when i was pregnant with Meg 25 years ago i could barely contain myself...
i am one of those weird women who LOVE being pregnant...
i love the changes my body is able to make to house a child...
i loved the way i looked pregnant...
i loved knowing there was a baby growing inside of me...
i loved knowing i was going to be a Mother...
i felt this way in every pregnancy...
{yes even with Brooke, where i barfed for 6 months straight}
maybe that's why i had 4 kids...
and would have had more...
maybe that's why my last 3 i had in 3 years...
{did i love it that much?}
laughing...
i look at my children now, grown...
and i feel so grateful that i have been blessed now for 24 years to be a mother...
my heart almost bursts thinking about the magnitude of this blessing...
as a women the ability to create was with me from the start...
it was something that was instilled in me first by God...
and then by my own Mother...
my Mother is an amazing woman...
she is smart...
she is soft spoken...
she is very proper...
she works hard...
she keeps a beautiful home...
she is service oriented...
she loves the Lord...
she has strong opinions...
she has a million friends...
she entertains beautifully...
she loves beautiful things...
she is 83 and still a blond...
she loves to laugh...
she loves her children...
{all 6 of them}
she loves her grandchildren...
{all 22 of them}
she loves her great grandchildren...
{all 4 and 1 on the way}
she never forgets a birthday...
she is who i look up to...
go to when i need help...
she is my role model in so many ways...
she is my Mother...
on this Mother's Day i feel grateful...
to have such an amazing Mother...
and to be a Mother...
to think of the possibility of one day my daughters will become Mothers...
i usually hate Mother's Day...
{i think everyday should be Mothers' Day}
wink!
but today i choose to look at in in a different way...
and love it...
knowing i will spend the day with my children who made me a Mother...
spend the day with my own Mother...
Happy Mother's Day to all of angel women in my life who are examples of Motherhood...
to my Grandmothers who where so important to me, and i miss dearly...
{who i am named after, Marjorie & Helen}
to my sisters...
to my girlfriends...
you have all helped me be the Mother that i am...
and want to be...
kiss kiss

I too, loved your post. Surprisingly enough, my cousin's due date for her 1st child was May 8, 2011, Mothers Day. Yes, she did go into labor on Mothers Day but I have not heard yet if she delivered the baby that same day.
