Throwback "Thursday" #9 - Happy Mother's Day!

Yes, yes, it's Friday.. let's just all play along and pretend for the sake of this post that it's Thursday. And don't worry, tomorrow will still be Saturday. No Flux Capacitor's were involved in the making of this blog post.

Mother's day is almost upon on us again, so I was looking at pictures from Mother's Day last year and kept thinking "this was only a year ago?!"

Kids are tricky like that...you feel like they are growing up so quickly, but yet like they have been a part of your life forever.  I have to keep reminding myself that OG has been in our lives for less than 2 years so no, she wasn't around "that one time when ___".  It just seems so odd!

So that I don't keep confusing myself based on the feeling that OG has been around for years, my Mother's Day timeline is:
- My "First" Mother's Day: I was pregnant and didn't think it counted yet, but everyone else assured me that it did.  My loving husband scored a free fudge cake from Bob Evans based on the fact that I was indeed a Mother, so I'll count it as well. :)  And that fudge cake hit. the. spot. Mmmm, pregnancy splurges.
-My Second Mother's Day/First MD w/ OG: We had a low-key dinner at Dedi's where OG tried her first "real food" (non-milk/formula) - baby oatmeal!  She was confused at first but then wanted to feed herself moments later.  She's always been an overachiever. <3
-My Third Mother's Day: will be this Sunday. Plans thus far include another low-key dinner at Dedi's and most likely hanging with Grandma & Grandpa sometime that afternoon.  All I need is time with my sweet OG and I'll be a happy camper.

For her First Mother's Day not hanging out in my uterus (aka: last year), OG wore:
-Mother's Day bib that was just for decoration
-Heavy-duty "because there will most likely be a mess" food catching bib
-An outfit. It never mattered with all the bibs she was wearing!

This is a fine example of truth in advertising. <3

"Where have you guys been hiding this stuff this whole time?"

GIMME ALL THE FOOOOD

Wishing all of the mommas out there a very Happy Mother's Day!
