shout outs

i just wanted to take this time to send a shout out to some absolutely wonderful women in my life. i call them momma's angels.

my mom...who on the week felix went back to work gave me a surprise visit and took care of me and asher. i was at my lowest that day, baby blues, sleep deprivation, hunger, all the nasties, etc... and mom came into our house, directed me to go take a nap while she sat with asher. it was wonderful! i didn't nap all too well, but her presence has been and continues to be comforting and reassuring. she was my angel that day. love you mom!

my sister-in-law helen...who has been supportive, encouraging, and helpful. she and jon have taken me and asher out so that we could bond with each other and not get cooped up in the house. it has been great going places with them and hearing their stories about parenting and that i'm not/we're not alone in this new adventure.

my sister-in-law susan...who has loved me through "my days". i am so thankful that she is around to speak truth and love into my life about mothering and parenting. her honesty makes me feel like i'm "ok", that i'm not crazy, and that it does "get better and sweeter".

my mom-in-law...who has been sweet to us in so many ways. she has taken care of us and loved us in the early days and continues to take care of us. her kindness has been healing and comforting and we always look forward to being with her to be spoiled. she truly does spoil us.
