This Sunday is Mother’s Day.
In many ways it feels just like
yesterday that Maddy was placed in my arms, making me a mother. In many other
ways, it seems like the time has drug on, and on and on. In the wee hours of
the morning when you're up with a screaming baby it feels like those long days
and nights are never going to end, but a new day comes with a fresh perspective
and a renewed will to move forward and before you know it, you've blinked and
the years have flown by.
Preparing for my fourth Mother’s Day has given me a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the last four years of being a mom. I've learned a lot about myself during this time; my strengths, weaknesses and the kind of woman and mother I want to be. Some of my memories are great. Some, not so hot, but they've all made me the woman I am today and helped to mold me for the mom I want to be.
