Schönen Muttertag
Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there! It occurred to me the other day that this will be the last Mother's Day of my life that I won't be a mother... although I suppose in some ways I already am a mother. The reality of what is to come hit me hard this morning as I just got the exciting news that 2 of the 6 women in our prenatal class gave birth in the past 2 days!
Yesterday, Kirk bought me a beautiful bouquet (OK, I actually picked it out because we were downtown together and he wanted me to choose one I liked) for Muttertag. Later in the day, our landlord (who lives upstairs) brought me a bouquet of Maiglockchen (May bells) that she picked from the garden "to celebrate the day of the mothers". Now our house is blooming with fresh flowers, which I love. Wow... I'm going to be a mother. I was blessed with a truly amazing Mom, who's life was unfortunately much too short, and I will be happy if I can be even half as loving and supportive of my daughter as she always was of me.
