I think that's a line from Sylvia Plath's, "Three Women." Wherever my brain picked it up, it's true. Baby Elliot was born last Wednesday, November 21st. She is a week old! Amazing. I am now a mother of two - a challenge I know many have faced before me, and that gives me courage! Eddie's mom had four children and not much support, so she certainly paved some sort of way for those of us who are facing the slightly daunting task of caring for two very precious and very different lives at the same time. Speaking of Nancy, it is in her honor that we bestowed Elliot with her middle name. Elliot Nancy is truly blessed to have such a devoted Nana.
Ahhhh, mothers. I love my mom so much. I found after having Naomi, and again with Elliot, that I really crave my mother's support above anyone else's when I am most vulnerable. Eddie and I both have incredible mothers. The girls and I are spending the day at my parents' house tomorrow, and I am pretty thrilled. Maybe I'll even get a little scrapbooking done - Naomi took a rockin' trip to Disney World back in September, and it demands to be documented!
Well, I'll have to beg your pardon, as Miss Elliot is stirring and I am at her beck and call.
