Today we celebrate two special events; Eric’s 31st birthday and my 1st Mother’s Day. Mother’s Day has never been a special day for me and this one was especially “bitter sweet.” I was not only emotional (in a happy way) because it was my first Mother’s Day but also emotional (in a very sad way) because my mother is not here with me to share in the joys of my beautiful daughter. I tried to be as happy as I could though because it is a happy day for other people and also it was Eric’s special day. Annaliese stayed with her daddy for a few hours while I went to the movies with the mothers in my family along with Eric’s mom and grandmother. We had a nice time. 
When I got back home, Eric had Annaliese in the Bjorn to keep her calm.

Eric then drove Annaliese and I to the cemetery where my mother is buried so that I could spend some time there. It was the first time I had taken Annaliese with me. It was a very hard thing for me. The missing spot in my heart that has always been my mother has only gotten bigger since the pregnancy and birth of my daughter. Going through these time without your mom is a very hard thing to do.
Annaliese gave a little smile to her Grandmother above.
Annaliese wore her Mommy Loves Me hat (for Mother's Day) and Daddy Loves Me outfit (for Daddy's birthday.)
