A few short months ago, this was not how I expected to be celebrating Mother's Day in 2009.
Physically, I'm feeling almost totally back to normal (I accept that my body won't be totally "mine" again until Todd is done breastfeeding, but otherwise its pretty close to what it was last summer.) But emotionally and mentally, I'm a bit all over the place. I'm sleep deprived, so everything I'm feeling seems to be magnified about twenty times...
Thankful for my beautiful children.
Anxiously wanting to make sure that Todd eats enough but tired of waking him to eat.
Happy to be spending the weekend with my mom.
Mourning the loss of my grandmother a few weeks ago but not wanting to mourn on such a happy weekend.
Loving my time with Heather while she is learning and being so engaging.
Simultaneously missing Heather and Todd while they're napping, and later looking at the clock to calculate bedtime so I can rest myself.
Still in shock that I'm the mother of TWO children.
Incredibly impressed by all of the SAH moms who take care of a newborn and don't send their older kid(s) to daycare Monday through Friday - hats off to you!
I'm happy, healthy and very lucky. I can't really ask for more...except maybe for a little more sleep. ;-)
Happy Mother's Day!

nice post, can't wait to catch up tomorrow!
I can't remember if I said this to you already or not. If so, disregard this. If you are going to Dayton anytime this summer or fall to show off your beautiful children, please let me know. I'd love to meet you there, catch up with you and give your kids a squeeze. :)
Glad to hear things are going so well overall!! Can you name parent(s) that couldn't use more sleep? :)
