My very first Mother's Day.

It is so amazing to finally have my dream girl. Felix is everything I prayed for and more. This life with her just gets better and better!

I had to share this perfect first Mother's Day gift from my twinkie and our Momma. It's a living locket from origami owl (our friend Erin has a facebook page if you are interested in customizing your own!). How special are each charm?

This video was from about a month ago but makes my heart explode every single time.  Mamas and Mamas-to-be (like Meghan!!!!), here's to you! Here's to the magical love we are lucky to have forever.

How she woke up from a nap, laying next to me. My sweet girl.

Mother's Day Wish List.

I get butterflies when I think about Sunday, my first Mother's Day. It's pretty special that I'll be celebrating my first Mother's Day with my Mama.

Here are a few things off etsy that I wouldn't mind getting, just for being Felix's Mama: 

Under This Moon bracelet (customized lunar phase charm from the night Felix was born) 

Ombre glitter gold feather clips 

I Party With Jay Gatsby tank (just in time for the movie)

Cheeky coffee mug

Above the knuckle ring *link was broken on pintrest--don't you hate when that happens?

But honestly, this Mama wants a card more than anything {the book lover in me wants this one}. Okay, that and to sleep in. And by sleep in, I would settle for 9 a.m. 

17/52 and 18/52.

Felix getting a smooch from her Granddaddy (my dad) is my favorite. 

holding on to it.
