Mother's Day (Mother~to~Be Day)

This year we didn't get to spend Mother's Day with my mom. Don't worry we sort of celebrated last weekend and we are celebrating some more next weekend. I did however wake up to a nice surprise. Many of my family and friends wished me a Happy Mother's Day! Some people say that you aren't technically a mother until you give birth, others say you aren't technically a mother until you care for a child and other's believe the moment you conceive you become a mother. Well, I know I haven't experienced the sacrifices, hardships and indescribable joy you experience once your child is born and you care for them, but I will say that I definitely changed the day I found out I became pregnant and I have felt like my baby's mom since that day. Whatever your opinion is, it sure felt good to receive so many kind wishes and to have a mini-celebration of my mommy journey so far. I can't believe next year I will officially be in the Mom Club and will celebrate mother's day with my sweet little boy.

Here are some of the texts and facebook messages I received from family and friends. Thanks for making my Mommy~to~be Day so special.
