A year ago {and a little}...

A year ago I became a Mother.

I remember writing a post about how I felt like I was so unprepared, nervous, excited...

But the feeling I remember most was a feeling of inadequecy for such a big role which was to come. 

 Mother.

There is SO much that goes into that word.

Much more than I even thought.  

So much that in hind site I realize that I should have felt inadequate.

There was so much for me to learn. There is still so much for me to learn.

But I would not trade it for the world. 

With all of the growing pains that came with it.

For me, becoming a mother is the hardest, most rewarding thing I have ever done.

And I am so beyond grateful to call Ella mine.

She is my everything.

MY EVERYTHING.

Motherhood is the coolest thing ever.

And every day that passes I become increasingly grateful to be called 'mom'

This day was the best day of my life.

// Ben took these. And in my mind they are gold.

First time I ever saw my baby
I always wonder if this kind of thing should be shared
But in case I loose all my photos and my blog is the only thing that remains standing.
I want it to be known that this was my proudest moment.
Ugly cry and all //
