I could have given birth today. I could be nursing, right now, too. And again in two hours... I would also be recovering from another Cesarean, most likely. But I would have had my baby. Time sure does fly, whether you're having fun or not. Honestly, I felt like this day would be forever in coming. And I worried that once it came, I'd be a wreck. I'm not, though. Surprisingly. I'm sad, disappointed. And confused. But I'm okay.
I'm also a mother to another wonderful, sweet (moody), healthy boy. So happy mother's day to me! And to all the other wonderful women out there, who love as mothers do (because a baby doesn't make a mother; love does). And I'm grateful to have the love of my wonderful mothers, and the love of my child. *B

Happy Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're not a wreck, and I feel for you, and I'm so glad you put in that happy ending, rejoicing in motherhood.
If loves makes a mother, than I was indeed admissible to Mother's Day yesterday too! hihi My mom said "Happy Almost Mother's Day" :P
ReplyDeleteAnd Happy Mother's Day to you too! :) Wish you the best for this second child, whenever it comes ^_^
Missed having you here for my own Mother's Day! But I'm glad you felt loved and special and important and at peace.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mothers Day! I hope Will gave you a hundred sweet kisses.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteAnd I just realized I get to see you in a month (given that you'll be at the reunion)! Woohoo! I'm so excited!
Happy Mother's Day! It's so true; a mother is defined by love!! And surely seems like you have an abundance of it! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet spirit and attitude you have. Your little boy is blessed by far to have you as his mommy. I hope your Mother's Day was a sweet one.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you, B. Happy Mother's Day.
ReplyDeleteI am in the same position today... I miscarried exactly two years ago today and it is hard. I am doing okay because I have hope for the future with the adoption process but I WONDER about the past. How can you not?! Hang in there and be strong... that is all we can do! Hugs to you from me!
ReplyDeleteAfter my first miscarriage, I dreaded my anticipated due date. But, like you, I was surprised that I wasn't more of a wreck. I was disappointed and saddened but I was stronger by that point as well. And more able to understand and empathize with others. Thanks for sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteDo the research yourself and make the decision yourself. Do not let the doc make the decision for you.

Someday, Beth. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI'm getting a blog designer post. Do you have a post I can link to that has your rates, etc?
ReplyDeleteAre you okay Beth? I always worry when you're sad. I know you have lots of people looking out for you but I've been where you are twice. So hang in there okay?
