Mother's Day

It's here! The long awaited Mother's Day!

I feel so proud and accomplished to reach this long awaited milestone. I feel like I'm a member of the "cool club." As if i get to wear this badge of honor and connect with others out there...you know, those "regular" people who never have or had to worry about bebe-makin-carryin-havin- You know, those people who have never been kid challenged. Yup, I get to walk around all day, expressing "Happy Mother's Day" to random strangers to my heart's content and getting the same in return, while I wave my baby around like a trophy as if I've never had a care in the world about having a kid.

But the truth is..I did have some trouble having Kaua. I had two miscarriages and maybe woulda had more, if it weren't for divine intervention and google and blogs. But enough reflecting on the past. I'm here. I've got the most handsome-est adorable son (well, next to yours out there) and I love that bugger...even though he's a 5am waking booger! lol.

And i've got beautiful purple irises in a vase on our entertainment stand from my DH which he got me this morning b/c he works tomorrow. And I'm a mommy!

Happy Mother's day to all! (angel mommies especially!)

p.s. We moved Kaua onto his next solid food today. We went from rice cereal which kept giving him constipation, to poi. He loved that poi! I mixed it with breast milk and some water and he chomped it like a champ. We froze more servings so he can have it over the next few days.
