I love being a mom

I had a great Mother's Day on Sunday. I woke up to Dawson climbing in bed with me all dressed (although he had to change because it was Sunday.) Brad and him each gave me a card, some roses, a kitchenaid cast iron pot I wanted, and Dawson designed a plate for me. I got lots of loves which always makes me happy. I also go to help Dawson give his first talk in primary. He read most of it on his own and I was so proud of him! My mom and dad were in town. It was great to be able to spend time with my wonderful mom on Mother's Day. After church we had lunch over at Mary's house and visited for awhile. After my parents took off we went to my in-laws to visit then over to Jill's (sister-in-laws) for a BBQ. It was a ton of fun and very relaxing for me.
I have been working a lot these last couple of weeks and have been SO tired. Today was my only day off of work for the week so I planned on sleeping in. I got a call from Dawson's school at 8:30 saying he was sick. I went and picked him up and we slept on and off until almost 4pm while we watched movies and various TV shows. It felt so good to catch up on my sleep! Mary, Cora, and Asher also surprised us with a visit this morning so that was nice.
On Thursday, I will be 11 weeks pregnant. So far everything is going great with this pregnancy. I have not gained any wieght :) In fact I have probably lost some. I can't seem to eat chocolate and most food sounds blah! I'm sure that will change shortly though. Dawson still says the sweetest prayers each night that the baby will be strong and healthy and that I will make the right food choices. It cracks me up. He takes good care of me as does Brad. They bring me water or snacks if they are up and getting themselves something. I feel so blessed! I am looking forward to going to the doctor next week and hearing the heartbeat. It will just help make everything seem real and let me know that everything is really okay.
