P365 - 2015 - Day 129 - My Mother's Day baby
It's the day in between his birthday and Mother's Day, but ten years ago this guy entered our lives on Mother's Day. So that makes him forever, my Mother's Day baby. It was a rough Mother's Day that year...my mom was diagnosed with cancer a few weeks prior and was set to start chemo the next day, so she wasn't able to rush down when I went into labor like she did when I had The Bear and The Princess. So here it was Mother's Day and I was in a hospital without my two other children and without my mom about to welcome our newest family member. It was bittersweet for sure. But then this guy arrived, he was healthy and whole and ready to go home far quicker than his brother and sister had been able to so in no time at all I was home with all of my "babies"....Unfortunately, that was the last year I was able to wish my mom a Happy Mother's Day here on Earth but I was given the gift of a Mother's Day baby that would forever remind me to smile and be thankful for the mother that I had and the opportunity to be a mother to my three kids. So today, as we celebrated day two of the birthdaypoloosa, I made sure to get a picture with my birthday boy... my Mother's Day baby.
