My 1st Mother's Day

I celebrated my 1st Mother's Day this year! I still can' believe that I'm a mom!! I feel so blessed to have Hudson as my son. He is such a clever, sweet, cheeky, stubborn, determined, adorable little boy and I just love him to pieces!! I also feel so blessed to have such an incredible husband who always makes me feel special and re-assures me that I am doing a good job at being a mama. Both of my boys truly spoiled me on May 12th!! (heck, if I had known how awesome Mother's Day was, I would have had a kid sooner ;) ). 

I started my morning off with cuddles in bed (sort of) with my little man. Hudson is so not a cuddler, so the fact that he even spent a few minutes in my arms without trying to crawl away was a special treat. Then Hudson and Nic made me pancakes and brought them to me in bed! After breakfast, I did a bit more scrapbooking, then enjoyed a delicious turkey sandwich made my Nic. Nic also got me special gluten free vegan cupcakes that were delivered to our house! They were chocolate cupcakes with caramel sauce, frosting and sea salt. They were so delicious and tasted a lot like my favorite cupcakes from Velvet Cupcakes. Then it was off to my surprise afternoon at the spa!! I got a massage, sipped mimosas, sat in the hot tub, relaxed in the steam room and enjoyed a rainfall shower. It was heavenly!! They gave me a rose as I was leaving and wished me a Happy Mother's Day!! ;) 

That afternoon, Nic, Hudson and I went to the pool. It was such a hot day and a family outing sounded perfect. Hudson hadn't been in a pool since Hawaii so we figured it was a good idea to get him comfortable in the water. At first we tried dipping his toes in the big pool, but the water was slightly cold and Hudson was scared, so we took him in the kiddie pool instead. Hudson was a bit frightened! He kept trying to turn into us and climb into our arms, which is very unlike him. We gave him time to just sit in our laps and eventually he got curious and started reaching down and splashing the water, then he slowly inched in further until he was floating and splashing all around. Once he got over his initial fears, he loved it!! 

That evening, we had thai food for dinner and watched the season finale of Survivor. It was such a perfect day!!

I can't talk about Mother's Day without talking about the other two special Mother's in our lives. We skyped with Susan on Sunday to wish her a Happy Mother's Day and I made her this card.

My mom spent Mother's Day in Maui with her girlfriends this year, so Lindsay and I had special leis delivered on Friday.

I also made her a card and posted a collage on facebook. 

Nic and I are so lucky to have such wonderful moms (mums). We hope they had as wonderful a Mother's Day as I did!!
