I was thinking about Mothers Day today, yes a day later, and started thinking about this past year. It has definitely been an eventful one. Of course the main event that sticks out is the birth of Charlie. I was thinking about how our lives have changed and about his birth. All of that made me think about my own mom.
She flew here the day before Charlie was born so she could be a help to Tony and I. I was picturing how nice it would be to have her here taking over the cleaning and cooking, so I could be with my new baby. I didn't know how much of a strength she would be to me through the birth & the first few days of motherhood. She stayed by my side and encouraged me the whole time. After he was born, she stayed with me, reassuring me that I had done it! I was so exhausted and needed her there, talking to me, just to keep myself awake and together.
A long time ago I was her little baby. She went through what I did for Charlie to come into the world. There's a new found gratitude that I could never have understood before.
Mothers Day is a special day and I have a special mom.

hey I saw your post on my blog and had to run over here and ask you more questions. Did you go in the night before for an induction and everything? Did you get that gel? I would love to hear some details of your story. I have never talked to anyone who got induced this way, so it's got me a little worried.
