My First Mother's Day Weekend

I was only about a month into being a mother when Mother's Day arrived, so I almost felt like I hadn't earned the day just yet...ALMOST I said! haha  That weekend was bittersweet in that it was the weekend that I started back full-time to work.  (Previously I had gone in a few times for a day or so, but this weekend, there was no looking back to the days of being a stay-at-home, full-time mommy.) 
I got very lucky and only had to round for the weekend, so both days I went in very early and was able to get home early.  I even made it home on Sunday in time to go to church...got dressed in about five minutes flat, too, ask Robert!  Yes, being a mama, I now spend longer getting Madelyn dressed than I do myself...and I am perfectly fine with that. 
I spent my time off cuddling little one...she is the only present I wanted.  But, Daddy got me a sweet little card and flowers.  He had gotten me an upgrade on Maddie's birthstone, too just before she was born...I told him that would be my push present, Mother's day, birthday, and Christmas!

  My first Mother's Day flowers...pink, of course, they know me well!

 Maddie was extra sweet for the weekend, here she is just talking to Mama...

 

 Look at the life in those little eyes, I get happy just looking at these pictures!

 

 I could just eat her up!

I came downstairs and Daddy had dressed her up to go out for a little family drive.

 Maddie and Me.  Yes, by the looks of it, this must have been a time that it took me five minutes to get dressed.

 

 

 

We finished the day off with bath time.  It was baby girl's first CRY-FREE bath!  That was almost as sweet a present as the smiles above...ALMOST.

 

 Sweet kisses.
