Mother’s Day Photo Contest
One of my favorite websites, 5 Minutes for Mom is hosting a Mother’s Day Photo Contest. I’ve decided to enter this photo taken after Megan was born (the day before Mother’s Day in May, 2001). My photo sums up what I was feeling at that moment. An emotional cocktail of happiness, love, amazement, pride and exhaustion.

You have that new mother look - the one that is full of love and amazement and relief. Beautiful!

OK, as a husband I see something else. “It’s 9 AM and I just had a kid, take the pic before I kill you and don’t ever show it to anyone!”
I think this was about the time there was a helicopter hovering outside our room. Right?

Okay, weren’t we talking about how close Grace & Megan are in age? I guess it didn’t click just how close they were! Or maybe I’m just slow. I went into labor w/ Grace on Mother’s Day & she was born early the next morning - May 14th. I love the picture, by the way. I would have felt that way too, if I wasn’t so doped up on morphine!

What can be more precious and unforgettable than a moment like this? I wish I had gotten pictures of this moment when I had my babies.

How funny that Grace & Megan are two days apart. Strange college roommate stuff going on there.
Adam, it was more like 5pm in the afternoon but you got the other parts right.
