We didn’t really celebrate Mother’s Day this year. It was a little melancholy, but I also understand. My girls just had surgery and they were in SO. MUCH. PAIN that day. An hour after the “magic medicine” that they get once a day kicked in (hydrocodone😆), I got a solid hour of smiles out of them. We spent that hour making huge bubbles and although they absolutely couldn’t squeal or scream (let alone talk) because of the pain, it was the first time I had seen them smile all day- even smiling hurts. It was a little strange to have silence during bubble blowing. They’d smile and get excited, but didn’t make a sound😪 Anyway, I made it a point to take a few selfies with each one. First, my Lucy Lu- the one that showed me what real, true, unapologetic love looks and feels like. The one that separated my life into a before, and after💗. Second, the “Pi Baby”- the one that taught me that my heart can, indeed, burst with fiery love ALL over again and it’s completely possible to love a second child as much as the first- it’s just double the love💜. And 3rd, my Sully man. The little boy that has us all wrapped around his fingers, no matter how ornery, stubborn and wild he is. He has a sweet side, he just doesn’t show it as often as his sisters do☺️ He did, however, let me sing to him while I rocked him to sleep that night, even though it’s been at least a year since that happened. That’s my baby and he always will be💙. Anyway. It might’ve been a very uneventful day, but at least I’ll remember it!
The girls are still in intense pain- Piper more so than Lucy. Yesterday and today have been the worst for her. Hoping tomorrow gets better because she’s had 5 really painful days in a row now. It’s so hard to watch them suffer. I had no idea a tonsillectomy would be THIS painful. Praying for some relief for them both!
If you’ve made it this far, Happy *late* Mother’s Day to all the Mama’s out there. Each and every one of you💗
