Happy Mother's Day!!!!

This time last year I was a mom in waiting and I was so very pregnant. So pregnant, in fact, that I couldn't bare the 2.5 hour car ride to ATL to visit my mom and sister. It's so amazing to see the difference in a year! It's hard to believe that this year, I am a mom. This year, my precious baby is just a little over a month away from turning one.

I'm so blessed and humbled to be a mother. I have joined an amazing group of women and have a whole new appreciation for the meaning of mom. To my mom, thank you with all my heart! You gave so selflessly and have always been there for me. I love you and Happy Mother's Day!!!

Borrowing the idea from a friend...here are a few pictures from the past year of my journey as a mother:
