So Felicity is getting bigger, however slowly. 16 lbs, 5 oz and 26 in. She has moved up in clothes size, she’s now 6-9 months. We only had 3 sleepers left over from Seporah (not sure how that happened). But anyways she needed a couple more. So I went to get some more at the outlet stores. An employee and a mom were discussing something, I wasn’t paying attention, one looks at me for affirmation.
Other Lady: Isn’t that right, when you become a mother, it’s no longer about you, it’s about the kids?
Me: Yes, that is a true statement.
Other Lady: Yeah, when you become a mom, you’re no longer a person, just an extension of someone else.
Me: Um, yeah, unfortunately that’s also a true statement.

Sometimes it is so nice to hear, “Oh, you’re Joshua’s Mom” (or Märia, Jeremy, or Russell). It’s a nice moniker now that you’re all pretty much done with getting into trouble. I am so proud of all you do!
When you were all little, it wasn’t always as much fun. Like when getting calls from the school, it didn’t sound so good when asked “Are you Russell’s mother?”
Hang in there, it does get to be so rewarding in time.
Love you
Mom
