Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms out there! Especially to my Mom, step-mom Marcella, mother-in-law Wendy, twin sister Katie, and sister in-law Mellissa.
As I get closer to motherhood, I truly appreciate my Mom so much more and I don’t know what I would do or be without her. She is my best friend, cheerleader, person I call when I need to cry, to laugh, or whenever I need support. No one else has been there for me like my Mom! Happy Mother’s Day Mommy! I love you with all my heart!

I woke up this morning to a sweet surprise from Tony. He bought me a couple of Mother’s Day goodies for our yard. He’s the best husband and I feel lucky to soon be the Mother of his child.

About Sara
10 to 12 hours of sleep? Nice. I wish I could get that much sleep too! I am hoping that I can swing my schedule to run the Soldier Field 10 Miler. If so, I’ll see you there! 🙂

Every time I hear about working out while pregnant brings me back to the good old days. I remember my mom telling me not to exercise. She’s very old fashioned and believed that it wasn’t healthy for the pregnancy.
