It's been a goal of mine to get a picture of myself and my little people on Mother's day, however, both of them arrived at less than ideal times. Jo was 11 days before Mother's day 2012 and Maggie was 12 days after it in 2015. I've been a mother to my first new born one year, and hugely pregnant with the second another. This has made for some interesting or completely missing pictures. My collection is slightly spotty. <insert meta motherhood lesson> The bonus part of both girls arriving in May is that I have semi decent photos from that month if not from the day itself.
Behold - my Mothers Day pictures so far
2012: Wet hair and 11 day old baby
Here's an example of the birthday thing working out for me. This is the Sunday before Mother's day that year - Jo's birthday party 2013
2014, the outtakes this year are pretty hilarious. I actually almost only put in the following picture from Jo's birthday - we both look much less ragged and you can see Jo's cast! Remember when Jo broke her leg? And I thought she was faking until she wouldn't put weight on it even when I offered her chocolate? #mum fail
2015: Here's the only picture I have of both of us that year around Mother's Day - unless you count the pictures of me with two babies, but on the actual day I only had one so this works. We did a lot of snuggling in bed during my Maggie pregnancy...
And this might be my favorite of them all. I can't remember if I purposely had all us coordinating or not, but let's say I did and call this an even bigger win. 2016, you've done me proud
