My Mother’s Day

Way back when I was dealing with infertility, it was far from clear that I would ever become a mother. I finally had my baby girl, and celebrated my first Mother’s Day just one month later. To commemorate that special day, my husband gave me a ring with three stones in it. He said one stone was for me, one for him, and one for the new baby. After my second daughter arrived, the stones came to symbolize me and my two girls. Now, seven years later, there is a stone for each of my three girls. Today, as my family worked to make my day special, I spent the time thinking how very blessed I am.
You might recall that all I wanted for Mother’s Day was a hot bath and time to read a book. I indeed got that (and “breakfast in bath”)! I also received a new Blackberry gadget that allowed me to take this video of my 9.5-month-old:
Yes, I am very fortunate.
What a cutie! She is growing so quickly. Happy Mother’s Day to you!
