37 weeks!
Not only did I wake up this morning to find my husband in the kitchen cooking my first (pre) Mother's Day breakfast complete with strawberry pancakes, scrambled eggs, and sausage...but today I'm also full term! If Baby Sears were to be born right now, he'd be perfect in every way, and sporting a set of fully functioning lungs! At 37 weeks the average baby weighs 6 1/3 pounds and measures a little over 19 inches in length.Baby, we can't wait to meet you and we're ready whenever you are!
Happy Mother's Day to my mom, and to all the moms and moms-to-be!

On the eve of Mother's Day:
Today my sister and I treated our mom to Afternoon Tea at the Jefferson Hotel in Richmond. It was such a nice treat, for all of us! We lounged in the grand lobby, which was transformed to accommodate a special mother's tea, and enjoyed the cool, humid, southern atmosphere.
We indulged in tea sandwiches, scones with devonshire cream, strawberries covered in chocolate, cakes, homemade breads, and deliciously spicy tea with hints of cinnamon, orange, and cloves.
In between bites, Vanessa and I took turns posing questions from an article that I recently read. The answers were insightful, not only looking to the past and learning more about my mom before she was a mom and about her experience as our mother, but also considering the present and looking to the future in the context of my own life as a woman and mother.
We exchanged our gifts, shed a few happy tears, and enjoyed some quality time as mothers and daughters.
