Last year we had recently had our 20 week scan. I keep the scan photo on our mirror in our living room so I can remember how excited we were and how to never take Nemo for granted (even when he's being grumpy!)
I've been thinking alot about my own Mummy and how being a Parent to your children never ends. Although you leave home and slowly need your Parents less and less I am lucky enough to have amazing Parents and still go to them for support (a fair bit if I'm honest!). Since becoming a Mummy this year I've found I needed my own Mum more.
Nemo's birth... well it could have gone better. Long story short, it was a 3 day ordeal which ended in an emergency c-section. It was a last minute decision for my Mum to be there but we were so glad she was. She was so supportive during the birth (she even sat in a cold car for 4 hours at 4am one day outside the hospital!) After I was discharged me and my husband were at home for a couple of days on our own. We were totally unprepared for me being so unwell and were totally overwelmed- I don't think we ate anything other than toast! My mum came down again for the weekend and was was brilliant. She was our cook, my breastfeeding teacher and our housekeeper! I've been reminded as I thought about Mothers Day of how one morning Mum made us breakfast in bed just like me and my siblings used to for her on Mothers Day when we were little.
Every time we visit my Parents my Mum spoils us with her amazing cooking and baking- there is always a cake (often lemon drizzle) made for us! My Mum has made a brilliant Grandma and it has been lovely to see her with a baby (I was too young to remember her when she had little little children).
So very Happy Mothers Day Mum and thanks for showing me what a super Mum looks like!
P.S here's photos of a sunflower, a Swiss cow, a boat and sheep because I know how you love them :)
