The Olson Odyssey: Mother's Day

I had such an amazing day on Sunday. I woke up (after sleeping in:) with one thought in my head: "I am a mommy to the most amazing little boy in the world!" I distinctly remember Mother's Day one year ago. I was VERY pregnant and I wondered and wondered what the little boy growing inside me would be like. What would he look like? Would he have my eyes? My nose? Would he be a good baby or cry a lot? Would I be a good mom? Would I feel confident in my new role? Well, here I am a year later and here is what I can tell you......

Dillan is a perfect combo of Dusty and I. He looks a lot like his daddy, but he has my eyes exactly. He is the best baby ever. Slept through the night at 10 weeks and never looked back. I have never known a more contented baby. I feel so confident in my role as a mommy. I have never felt so fulfilled in my life. When God created women, he created us to be mom's. I feel like I am fulfilling a role that God created me to play. Are there days I am tired and need a break....YES!!!!!! But I never knew a love existed like this. I would lay down my life for Dillan without a second thought. I would sacrifice anything for him. I want nothing but the very BEST for him. Where did I learn this? Where did I get my confidence from you ask? Well, that is easy....I have the most amazing mommy who I have learned so much from. I have never met a woman that sacrificed more for her children. The lessons she taught me I hope she will teach my children one day. One of of my greatest joys is to watch Yaya with Dillan. She loves him so much and he loves her the same!

After being able to reflect in bed I woke up to an amazing breakfast cooked by my wonderful husband! We had a special time of sharing and fellowship and then got to meet up with Papa, Yaya, and Auntie Whitna for a yummy lunch on Balboa Island. We then had an AMAZING dinner with the whole family, including Drew, Jordyn, and Beebs. Us moms felt loved and honored, which is what this day is truly about! I have the most amazing husband who made it possible for me to be a mom and who supports me everyday as I try to be the best mommy I can be.
