Happy mothers day!

For my first Mothers Day, Abe got me the mother of all pumps!

The Medela Symphony!! WhooHoo! It's a hospital grade pump that will make pumping for the next year(!) much easier. Happy Mothers Day to ME:)

Being a mother is something you cannot fully understand until you do it. I thought I knew what it would be like and how much love I'd have for Santiago, but the truth is, I had NO IDEA it would be like this and the amount of love I have for my child surpasses any love I have ever felt before.

You know the cliche... "everything happens for a reason." Well, the reason Abe and I met and fell in love was so that Santi could come into this world, Abe could be his father and I could be his mother. He is the reason I exist.

As I sit here and write this with baby poop staining my sweats, it's very clear that being a mom is the hardest and most rewarding thing I've ever done, poop and all.
