Without each of you…
I wouldn’t be the Mother that I am today. Happy, cautiously confident, fulfilled.
I wouldn’t know that it’s okay to NOT enjoy every mundane detail of Motherhood.
I would feel so alone.
Each of you has helped me live life again. Each of you has helped me remember ME. Each of you has let me smile again.
Thanks so much for all the support and well wishes the past few weeks.
Thank you, blogging Mommy friends. Thank you.
Happy Mother’s Day! Here’s hoping for a day filled with relaxation, peace, and quiet. And most importantly, here’s to take-out or delivery or going out to dinner!
**********
Oh yeah!! I guess you may be wondering about that baby I had!

Look a this! You were so not forgotten.
Congratulations Jennifer. These next few months are going to be exhausting but wonderful. Hang in there! Everything got easier for me once I was willing to let eClaire go to sleep on her own. I think that was at 2 months. 
Can’t wait to hear more! Happy Mother’s Day.
