Mother's Day 2010

It's mother's day and I'm 7 months pregnant. I've spent 8 hours at work so far today (sunday), so it has not been the best mother's day. I still love being a mother, though. I think it's a good thing that I don't really want to be here. That I'd rather be home with my family. I'm a few days from being done with classes, possibly forever, and I'm very happy about it. Mica has been playing a lot of "house" lately and especially loves to play that she's the mom and I'm the baby. She "drops me off at school" and says "Sorry honey, I need to go to work, I'll pick you up at the end of the day!" Sometimes I pretend to cry and she comes over to comfort me. Other times I'm strong and happy and say "Ok Mommy, have a good day at work!" Is that sad or cute? I can't quite decide. I'm excited for this new one to join our family and to watch another being grow. That's really the joy of motherhood I think: being there to witness the process-- good and bad. We still have a lot of prep to do to get ready for this baby. All that has been put on hold while I've been in school. But baby is coming whether we're ready or not!
