I hope your Sunday is spent surrounded by people you love <3

Sending wishes for a beautiful day to all of the moms out there, mothers-in-law, fur moms, momstobe, blog moms who inspire me, and to caretakers who give so selflessly to others.

I’m blessed to have many amazing women in my life.

5 generations.

(with my nana, great-grandmother and madre- 5 generations!)

Thank you to my madre, stepmom, nanas and aunties who have taught me about who I really want to be when I grow up,

to my mother-in-law, who raised one heck of an amazing man

sabino

and to Livi. I’m so lucky to belong to you.

me and baby 

See ya later with some pics from the day <3

xoxo

    I’m so happy that you are able to celebrate this day as a mom yourself now!! Enjoy it 🙂

    Also, its so amazing that Livi’s Great-Great-Grandmother is still around for you to share her with!

  16. Amber L on May 13, 2012 at 5:17 pm

    Happy mother’s day!! I love the generations picture! I was hoping my baby would be here by now. I’m 5 days late 🙁 I remember reading your posts about being late. I’m starting to freak myself out that I’m going to have to be induced when I really want to try for a natural birth. Please keep your fingers crossed for me! 🙂

    • Fitnessista on May 13, 2012 at 6:29 pm

      fingers crossed for you! eat some pineapple and spicy food!
      will they strip your membranes for you? that’s what the midwife did for me (it hurts, but it’s quick) and it got the party started

      • Robyn (GirlonRaw) on May 13, 2012 at 10:27 pm

        Doing the wild thing worked for me too. 4 hours later – LABOUR TIME 😉

        • Amber L on May 14, 2012 at 7:46 am

          Robyn – I’ve been trying to convince the hubby. But he’s freaked out to try that since her head is pretty low right now. Lol!

      • Amber L on May 14, 2012 at 7:45 am

        They haven’t said anything to me about stripping them. I don’t have any more appointments. Next step would be going in to the hospital Thursday night. Maybe I should call and ask. I am desperate! Haha. Thanks for crossing your fingers. I am going to pick up a pineapple today and eat spicy food for lunch! 😉

    Happy Mother’s Day, Gina. 🙂

    (I still love that pic of Livi – she was so expressive right out of the womb. I didn’t get to comment on this the other day but her
    strawberry outfit was as cute on as it looked like it was going to be.)

  24. Sara @ The Foodie Diaries on May 13, 2012 at 5:59 pm

  32. Steffany on May 14, 2012 at 8:45 am

    Happy Mother’s Day Gina !!!

  33. Chelsa on May 14, 2012 at 9:08 am

    congrats on your first Mothers Day with Livi in your arms!

  34. Patti @ This Starts Tonight on May 14, 2012 at 9:56 am

    Haha thanks for the fur mom shout out! I was just starting to get jealous of everyone’s flowers when I remembered A) my boyfriend spent the day driving from Michigan to Ohio, B) my child is in Michigan, and C) my child is also a chocolate lab/doberman mix and therefore lacks the requisite skills to order me flowers. I like to think she would have tried to kill me a bird, though.

    Also, did you not get the memo that you’re supposed to look awful in your newborn photos?! You look like you just stepped out of a day spa! Ridic.

  35. Lisa @ Jogging on Coffee on May 14, 2012 at 12:31 pm

    Hope you had a great Mother’s Day Gina :)!

  36. kari on May 15, 2012 at 9:30 pm

    I love that picture and Livi is just so excited to see her Mama.
