Mothers Day

I cant believe that this mothers day I can actually celebrate as a mother myself. Motherhood is defiantly not something that came or comes easily to me, I've had a hard time giving up my independence. A lot of times as a mom you feel like you dont have your own life, rather I just live in Conner's life, doing whatever he wants. I dont think anyone really knows the sacrifice and hard work that comes with being a mother until you become one yourself. But being a Mother is the most rewarding job you can ever have! The lessons that Conner has already taught me in such a short time are priceless. Conner has taught me unconditional love and patience, he has made me want to become a better person, someone that he can be proud to say is his mom. Becoming a mother makes you respect yours even more. I have so many great examples of Mothers around me, my own mom, my mother-in-law, my sister, my sister-in-laws, my friends, and the future mothers in my life. I look to all of you for examples of how I want to raise my children. Being a mom is a scary thing, we are the the number one example in our children's lives, they spend more time with us than anyone else. We have a huge impact on who they become and how they live their lives. I hope that I can raise Conner to become someone who is respected and is respectful to everyone that he meets. I hope my mom knows how much I love her! Happy Mothers Day to all you mothers and future mothers out there!
