A Thank You to My Momma

I am so very grateful for my momma...when she found out that we had gone into labor early, she moved up her flight so that she could be here to help us out that first week home. I know that it probably cost more to do that for us, but we are so glad that she did. A few days after coming home my back really started to hurt from all the back labor, and I could hardly move for almost 2 days without a lot of pain. I can't imagine having to take care of 3 kids all on my own during the day feeling like I did. And my mom did so much while she was here...cleaning, cooking, laundry, playing with and feeding my kids and Rob and I. You were such a help mom...you may not have thought so, but just having you here meant so much to us, even if you hadn't done anything to help around the apartment.

The girls had so much fun with their Nana. The day she left, Gwen came out into the family room and asked, "Where's my Nana?" She still talks about having her Nana here with her. And it was great to have Diana and Quinn come up with Madison to visit while she was here too. You are amazing momma...I keep thinking that if you could do it with 6 kids, I can do it with 3. Still, I am amazed that you had 6 kids when I find it hard with 3...can't even imagine what it was like for you sometimes. And I can't imagine how you went through labor 6 times...

Thank you momma, for everything that you did while you were here. I sure miss you and wish we could be closer to you and all of our family. I can't wait for the girls to get to spend time with you again, and to spend time with their papa and their Grandpa and Grandma Congdon in another month. Thanks again momma...you are truly inspiring.
