My Second Mothers Day!

It literally feels like I was just writing my first ever mothers day post! Now here we are a year later - on my second mothers day!

I feel I could just repeat what I wrote last year! I have never been so grateful for anything in my life! 

I have wanted to be a mummy for as long as I can remember, it's the only thing I have ever really been sure of and I always felt a little silly when people would ask what I wanted to do or be when I was older, in my head I would always answer "A Mummy.." but out loud I would always say, "I'm not sure yet.." It was almost as if I thought if I said that was what I wanted I felt people would reply with "Yes but what else.." As if it wasn't enough! Now here I am a mother of a one year old, and although I do still work as well, being a mummy is definitely a full time job all on it's own and if any one ever said to me now "Yes but what else..?" I would happily reply "And nothing!" Being a mummy is definitely enough! It is hard work and it is exhausting, but it is also full of joy, excitement and the best rewards you could ask for!

I read a lot of other mummy posts, and a lot of the time I find myself reading ..."I never knew I would be so excited by a tiny giggle, or how much you could love one tiny human." But I felt I always knew how excited one tiny human could make me!

I feel that as a mum we should all take a moment each day to just be thankful and remind ourselves how truly lucky we are to be able to call ourselves mums! I often worried when I was younger about what if.. what if I was one of the unlucky women who couldn't have children. I think because it was the one thing I knew I always wanted and the one thing I was sure about, I was always worried about the what ifs. I am so so so grateful that I am so lucky to have been able to experience the joy of growing and nurturing my tiny baby girl. 

I have had such a lovely relaxing day! My baby gave me a gorgeous card that she had coloured for me and a picture of us together! I'm sure I have her daddy to thank as well! ;) 

I know some people say mothers day is over rated and just a way for shops to make money, but really what is so wrong with celebrating our mothers, I know I couldn't live without mine. She has shown me how to be a great mother and I hope I can be as wonderful to Skye as she has been to me! 

We don't always say it enough but I love my mum, and I hope when Skye is older she looks up to me as much as I do to my mum!!

Being a mum isn't easy, but it is definitely worth every sleepless night, every early morning, every giggle, smile, cuddle and kiss. I sure know now what others meant when they said being a mother is like watching your heart wander around outside of your body.

So happy mothers day to all the other mummy's out there, I hope you all had a lovely day, and you all feel as blessed as I do to be able to call yourself a mummy! :)
