The sweetest little boy was born on Friday, May 1st. Isn't he the cutest! Melanie had her first baby last week and I was there to help bring him into this world. What an experience that was! Her husband, Chris and I helped Melanie through her labor and gladly celebrated when it was all over. I was able to spend 5 days with Melanie and tried to fill my mothers absence. That was really hard to do. How can I fill such large shoes? When I had all three of my kids, my mom would come for about 4 days to help out with the kids and take care of me. It was such a fun time that we got to spend with eachother.
Visiting Melanie was similar but when two sisters get together with very little sleep and lots of sugar, silliness starts to set in. We shared a lot of laughs intermixed with cooking and of coarse some naps. I tried to help with dishes and a little cleaning but I constantly had to ask myself "What would mom be doing right now if she were here?" I knew what Sherri would do, thats easy, but what would mom do? We shared a few tears together but also felt that she was near, especially while in the hospital. We miss you mother...
