Mom knows a thing or two about babies, having raised eight of her own. During her stay she was a great source of emotional support, giving me reassurance that I was doing an ok job as a mother to Evelyn. She also made dinner, cleaned the house, took Kella for walks, and held Evelyn so I could shower and take naps. My body was still pretty sore and needed recovery time, so we took things easy with lots of lounging around watching chick flicks and having some good mother/daughter chats. However, we did manage to get out of the house at least once every day. We started slow with a trip to the grocery store, then one day we took our first family walk to the park, then later in the week I was feeling good enough for trips to the mall, Kohls, Panera, and Costco.
Mom was supposed to fly back home to San Diego on Tuesday evening but her flight was delayed and we got to keep her around until Wednesday morning, which gave us enough time to snap some family photos.
Jay and I are so grateful to this woman for dropping everything to come be with us for ten days.
She's an amazing mother and she wears the title of "grandma" just as beautifully.
Karen, Rachel, and Evelyn Michele
