Happy Mother’s Day 2026 🌷🩷
My patients have been joking lately when they book follow-up visits after a little while away, wondering how many babies I’ve had since they last saw me… especially with the mini maternity leaves back-to-back 😂 And yes… it’s been three!
Three babies. Three mini maternity leaves. Three returns to work… all within three years.
A bit of a rollercoaster, but what a beautiful ride it has been.
Today I celebrated motherhood in all it's ups and downs:
Time with my husband and little ones, visiting an ailing mother-in-law who may be her last😭, picking flowers and having dinner with my mother, watching my sister lovingly create memories with her littles, and sending congratulations to a pregnant friend preparing for motherhood herself.
Mother’s Day can bring so many emotions all at once.
To the women who are mothers, longing to become mothers, preparing to become mothers, caring for aging or ill mothers, grieving mothers they’ve lost, navigating infertility, pregnancy, postpartum, or the beautifully messy realities of raising children… today can feel both beautiful and complicated.
Here’s to celebrating the beautiful complexity that motherhood truly is 🩷
