Mother's Day

It's Mother's Day and I am in my big fluffy robe, Igancio is sitting next to me on the bed spouting off babble in his adorable way and my belly is stuffed with a big yummy breakfast Angel made for me. Today I slept in until 9am (which is like noon in "mom-time")and woke up to a dozen roses. Never underestimate the loving capacity of Angel. This year on this day I just want to spend as much time with Ignacio as possible. I feel this intense happiness that he is in my life. If I could stick him back inside of me I would, just to have him that close again. Last year I was convinced that Mother's Day should be reserved as a day WITHOUT your kid, as a well-deserved break but, for some reason it is different for me this year. Maybe it is because I am sleeping more that 5 hours a night for more that 3 nights in a row. Maybe it is because I am eating three meals a day. Maybe it is just that I have found a balance in life as Ignacio has grown. I am back to showering every day, reading books, watching TV at night and making runs to Barnes and Noble all by myself. There is a sense of normalcy that has found its way back to me. One thing I have definately learned is that, for everything as a mom the saying"This too shall pass" is true. Whether it is something hard or easy, good or bad, painful or joyul it, in its own time, shall pass and you will find yourself suddenly on to something new. So, I am off to enjoy my day with my spunky boy and loving husband and be present in what life it really about, the now.
