Ella was born the day before Mother's Day last year. It has been so surreal to have my first year as a mother commemorated exactly one year after I became a mother. I've been reflecting on the day, starting when I went into the labor the night before, marking what I was doing and what stage of labor I was at. Right now, at 7:12 am, I would have just gotten to the hospital and was being monitored and trying to sleep altering being in labor all night (starting at the same time as we were eating cake and ice cream last night). Thank goodness for hypnobirthing time warp.
The irony of this Mother's Day is we both have a sneaking suspicion that baby number two has just gotten settled in and is growing contentedly. A total surprise for us, but after some familiar spotting and some deja vu emotions, plus both of us "having a feeling," we are pretty sure baby number two will be here at the start of 2016. So many mother milestones all on one Mother's Day! So ironic and overwhelming, but sweet.
