Happy Mother's Day!!

Happy Mother's Day! Since this was my first mother's day, I didn't know what to expect. I've only been a mother for a little over three months now, and, well I guess it didn't really hit me until today when I actually thought about what it meant. To me it means that Whitney is my own little science experiment to raise and mold as I wish (with the exception of Brig's influence). I know she'll have her own personality, but her experiences with me and Brig will also make her who she will be as an adult. Whitney has been such a blessing and a test of my own selflessness in taking care of her every need. So far, I love everything about being a mother, dirty diapers, nursing for 3-4 hours a day, reading to a three month old who just smiles at the pictures, everything. However, I don't know yet if I enjoy everything because I actually do or if it's because it's all new and exciting. Brig has been there along the way to help out when he can. I don't know if I would have such a positive attitude about motherhood if he wasn't there to help and show support along the way. So now that we only have one kid and time to sit in silence and watch her sleep I can have a positive attitude, but we'll see in a few years when we have more kids what kind of attitude I have. :o)
