Mother's Day 2011

Me, Mom and Miss Davia!
Next year we'll have Miss Maddie in the picture too! :) 
**The Sowder Women**   We are mighty!

29 weeks!  11 to go! :)

My gifts from Maddie's Daddy....
He actually recorded his voice in the book 
- reading the story to Madison. :)

Inside the book...to Madison Moore. :)

I had a great Mother's Day (as you can see!)...and I've been told next year will be even greater!  I can't believe next year at this time I will have an (almost) 10 month old.  Wow.  Wonder what she will be like then...what she will look like...what she will be eating, wearing, doing...so much is going to happen in the next 9 months!   It's almost hard to believe it's all happening.  Although, I just had a couple chocolate chip cookies with milk and she's currently bouncing all over the place - so even if I find it hard to believe...feeling her right now makes it real. :)  People keep telling me what a "great mom" I'll be.  I sure hope so - sometimes I wonder. :)  I do hope that Madison and I have a close relationship like me and my mom have...and have always had.  She is my best friend - knows me better than probably anyone (although Derrick is learning pretty quickly - and yet he still sticks around! ;) 

Big week ahead...we start our classes this week!  Thursday night is "Newborn Basics" - and then Saturday we have an all-day class for expecting parents.  I'm sure my head will be spinning by Saturday evening.  75 days to go!!
