In honor of Mother’s Day this weekend, I wanted to write about something that has been on my mind lately. Lately, Kurt and I have been having a lot of conversations and just random thoughts about how lucky we are that we both get to be so involved in raising Sloane. We feel so fortunate and lucky that this is how things worked out. I always knew they would. But when we were going thru IVF and had failure after failure, I never thought things would work out for best of us. Or be even better than I could have ever imagined or planned for.
But after having Sloane, we realized the timing of it all made perfect sense. I always knew it would. I wanted so badly for someone to tell me it would during the trying times of IVF. And somehow, here we are. It never worked out in the past because things would have been so much more different.
I swear almost daily, we both say how lucky we are to be working from home in this period of our careers. We both get to see Sloane every morning. Well, I get her up and then she goes looking for her Dad haha. She’s been obsessed with him lately.
We both get to see and hear the cute things she says in her sweet little voice. How she asks to watch ‘Coco’ for Cocomelon, her new favorite show. Or how she asks for Ya-Ya (her nickname for Addie), waves bye bye to us in the mornings. We are both home when she gets home from school, we eat dinner together every night and we both get to put her to bed every night- together. How lucky is this little girl that she fully gets both of parents almost all the time?
I guess my point of this is that if you are struggling with Mother’s Day this year, trust me, I had a few bad ones. Than trust the timing of it. Because it could actually end up being even better than you could have imagined.
Happy Mother’s Day!
