The Mother’s Day post I wrote before Blogger crashed- May 14, 2011
I’m still recovering from the Blogger fiasco this week. I realized I lost a huge portion of a post and all the comments. This made me super pissed, so I don’t really want to talk about it anymore. Instead, I rewrote the post. Take a look….
Mother’s Day- May 11, 2011
It’s Wednesday and I’m still basking in the glow of Mother’s Day on Sunday. Maybe it was the diamond stud earrings Greyson surprised me with. (Yes, diamond stud earrings! You read that correctly. Can you hear my squeals through the computer?) This wonderful man dutifully got up and changed Charlotte. He brought her to me in bed so I could feed her. That’s when he leaned over and pulled out a little box.
Maybe it was the breakfast out we enjoyed, or the 2 hour nap I took afterward.
Maybe it was the magnet with her picture Charlotte made me at daycare.
Maybe it was seeing my mom tear up when I gave her this….

I don’t think it was really any of those things. What I think has me still thinking of my first Mother’s Day is how proud I felt to be a mother. I held my head a little higher when I carried my baby around. I got smiles and nods from other moms. It’s as if I had been initiated into a sisterhood I never even knew existed.
(Or maybe it was the earrings. I’m kidding. I’m kidding. It’s the pride in motherhood thing.)
