Happy Mother's Day (to me)!!

I celebrated me (some may think prematurely, I think not) for the first time.  For the first time, I didn't have my grandma to celebrate. It was a bittersweet day, but I guess that's part of the circle of life; one comes to an end and another begins. How I wish she could be here to celebrate with me.

I'm so happy to be able to celebrate alongside my mom and I can't wait for this new chapter in my life where we will have so much to share with each other, and where I will have so much to learn from her about motherhood.   My mom knows what we're feeling without us saying a word.  She will stand up to anyone, like a Lioness protecting her cubs, to protect us (don't test her).  She says she will cross a fire for us, and I believe she truly would without thinking about it twice.  I hope that one day I will have those motherly qualities that she possesses.

This morning I found two greeting cards on the table, one from my thoughtful husband and one from Chikis.  It was the best feeling ever to be acknowledged as a mom-to-be, so of course I cried and cried. Marco always makes my day. :)

Heart Begins to Beat

Today I'm 5 weeks, 2 days pregnant.  Yes, we know the exact time.  I hope I don't jinx myself but I have been feeling pretty well.  No yuckiness, no morning sickness or maybe it's too soon for those symptoms.  I'm not sure. It's hard to believe there's a baby growing inside, but indeed a heart begins to beat.

Marco has started greeting me when he gets home and then touching my stomach and greeting bebe.  It melts my heart.  He also says the bebe wants to listen to Jay-z and Lil' Wayne...doesn't melt my heart so much.  :)
