my mom is the greatest-I arrived home today to find a package from her. she'd sent me a ladybug bracelet/earring set. when I called to thank her she said several times in the conversation "ladybugs are supposed to bring you luck". I know it's her way of acknowledging what we've been through without really saying it-after the failed IVF we didn't really want to talk about it with anyone, still don't, really. it was a nice surprise and brought tears to my eyes. honestly, we could use the luck.
thanks mom!!
