i have never loved or appreciated my mom as much as i do now. i’ve been holing noa about 95% of the last 36 hours because it seems like she has a belly ache and the only way she won’t fuss is if she’s being cuddled (and even that isn’t always working). i just never realized how much my mom loved me – both in word and in deed – until i’ve had my own daughter and felt that love and been compelled to act on it. as much as i hate seeing noa feel poorly, there is nothing i would rather be doing than holding and comforting and loving her right now. im so thankful for a mom that felt that way too. for the last 29 years, her priority has been to hold, comfort, pray for, and love her children. and now she loves doing it for her grandchildren too. what a blessing!

Sara-Beth…your mom’s amazing!!! When we first had Timothy, the thought crossed my mind many a time…HOW IN THE WORLD DID CAROL IVERSON DO IT???!!!!
You have a great role model and I can see you are a great mommy too!! The best advice given to me when Timothy was born was “give it 6 weeks…then you will be able to see light at the end of the tunnel and give it 6 months until things are “normal” (a different normal, but still normal)”
