Audrey, most of my relatives don't know about me. So, I can only imagine how you are feeling and, therefore, have little to offer on the subject.
However, I wanted to say, "Thank you" for sharing this and say that I hope that the only words spoken about you today (whether heard or unheard) are ones that encourage and that appreciate all that you are.
From this side of my monitor, you sound like a pretty great mom! Have fun enjoying your children.
(Oh... and if you have no spinal issues, I highly recommend the bouncy house too!)
