Mom left today. In about 23 hours, 3 flights and a 6 hour drive she will be home and 23 hours away from us. After all the anxiety I felt about her coming here and the first couple of weeks filled with disagreements the rest of the time was very pleasant and now I wish she didn't have to leave. I already miss not having her here. Although all the cleaning and cooking was nice it has more to do with the fact that this was the first time we had a chance to spend time together and connect. When I was home she was always working and since I have moved here we've never spent more than a few days together and even then it was with a bunch more people. It's been nice and I'm looking forward to having her come back in a few months.
Today I also had my 6 week post partum check and everything seems to be back to normal. I'll be seeing my midwife for my yearly in December so we parted with a hug as to seal the end of this journey we took together. She has been amazing.
Hi Chris, It was fun getting together with you last week. That is great that you had such a good time with your mom and that she'll be able to come back in a few months. Also good news that your check-up went well! I hugged my doctor, too, the last time I saw her in Sept (and then sent her a Christmas card). I think there is an unbreakable bond forever with the person who delivers your child (if it's a positive experience), especially if it's a long time with them! I told my doc she better not go anywhere before I get pregnant with #2!
