My mom had planned on coming to help out for a couple week’s
when Braxton was born but moved her flight forward when he ended up in the
hospital right after birth. I was
hesitant to have her spend the money for the ticket change but honestly am
INCREDIBLY thankful she wouldn’t be talked out of coming early. The days in the hospital were really tough,
yes, but the first weeks home from the hospital were almost as difficult. There were times I felt really crazy (sleep
deprivation plus hormones plus the birth trauma plus time in hospital) and mom
really helped to back Chris up when he told me to sleep. She cooked, cleaned, and walking screaming
Braxton around the neighborhood for more often hours than I can count… plus she
gave me an extra hour of sleep every morning by taking Braxton as soon as I gave
him his breakfast. I really credit her and Katherine for helping
us make it through that first tough bit!
