Happy Mother's Day

Since I'm pregnant things seem to make me extra, extra, EXTRA emotional.  I get chocked up watching almost anything, but this morning I nearly lost it watching a commercial for JCPenny.  Do you know the one?  It starts with a little girl and mom walking down the street hand in hand, then the little girl holds the hand of the little girl in front of her, then it transposes to later in life when she is holding her husband's hand, then HER little girl and eventually the original woman (now a grandma) is holding the hand of the little girl (grand-daughter) next to her daughter.  Seriously, you'd think it was a Hallmark commercial with as emotionally charged as it is.  Anyway, just made me want to blog about the wonders of motherhood.  As I go through it, and feel all the joy, frustration, amazement, fatigue, wonder, and fear, I can only connect with my mother more because all of those things she must have felt just as strongly as I feel now.   I also regularly pinch myself and remember that it goes by in the blink of an eye, and just moments from now I will be holding my grand-daughters hand (well, hopefully I'll be lucky enough.)  Happy Mother's Day.  Signed, ME {lv}
