5th one!

Today, Greg woke up at 6 AM for his morning feeding, and Trav gave me a card and a new yoga mat from him and all the kids: Jay, Alee, and Greg. Parenting is still a bit of a fog for me at times, because I feel like it is not even real!!

Well, today has been harder than expected already. The sadness of all the trauma that goes along with me being a mother has clouded over me this morning. Everyone else has voiced their excitement for me this last week as it's "your first" Mother's Day. In my mind, I'm quick to say "no it's not." A few times this week, I voiced that it's my first Mother's Day with a live baby. Actually, it's my 5th Mother's Day and my 15th FurMother's Day. So many people forget or just plain don't recognize Mother's Day with perinatal loss.

My hope for all is that we give special love to those moms who've experienced perinatal loss and those moms who have lost a child at any age. 

God bless ALL mamas!!
