How thankful I am to be a mother. I never thought pregnancy would be so terrible and that it would be worth it all in the end every time.
How thankful I am to have a wonderful mother. Words cannot do her justice. She never missed any dance concerts, dates, musicals, competitions, plays, graduation or my baby's births. She cried with me when I couldn't handle the pressure of life. Whether it was problems with friends, dating, or pregnancies. When I was pregnant with Trevor I was completely dehydrated. My body was spent and I could not stop throwing up. My nauseousness was constant. There was never relief. I would even throw-up in the middle of the night. On top of it all I came down with a sinus infection at about 13 weeks. The drainage made me throw up twice as much. I started bleeding in my throat and was throwing up blood. I was finished. I couldn't take it anymore. Wayne was also a second year medical student and had his first step of the boards and midterms coming up. He would come home to take care of Jacob at 1:00 every day while his medical student friends would study until at least dinnertime. I knew he had an enormous amount of pressure on him. I called my Mom and sobbed. I'm not a cryer and she immediately stopped everything she was doing to listen to every word I could get out of my mouth through the tears. Wayne ran into the room and tried to comfort me too. As soon as I got off the phone I went to bed for the night. I think it was 5:00 p.m. At 10:00 p.m. my Mom called and said that she was flying out the next day for a week. She took care of everything. The meals, laundry, Jacob and me. Wayne studyed for 10 hours a day while she was there and passed his midterms. I am forever thankful to my Mom who has always been there for me.
Thanks Mom. I love you!

You made me a meal last night, watched my kid AND did a post today?! Do you have a cape under that shirt?
That post gave me goosebumps! Mothers are awesome!
We do have a great mother huh??
Your mom is amazing. I am glad that you had a great mother's day. And glad that you are home safe. People always ask me why I would have more than one kid with the pregnancies being as hard as they are...my response is like you it is so worth it when it is all over...
I just read your blog and cried, of course. I am so grateful to be your mom and I appreciate you being my "mom" for a couple of weeks. Thanks for coming to take care of me. You are a wonderful mother. It is so much fun to watch you with your children.
