Mo's Bris
Monday, July 30, 2012
Today is Mo's bris. A much anticipated event. A day to introduce him to our friends and family. A day when he is announced as a Jewish little boy into our community. We wanted to keep this a small affair because we are overwhelmed and because the day is so very special. It is turning out to be a bigger affair than we had imagined originally but it will be ok. I wanted to be able to invite many of the people who really stuck by us this year. We will be happy to feel all of the support and I am so looking forward to seeing everyone. On the other hand, even in the best of circumstances, a bris is hard on baby and parents. After all - it is a circumcision. No momma wants to see their baby go through something like that. Also, I am worried about the expectations about where people think we are emotionally - my feelings are so complex about our lives in general. Plus, my first priority is to Mo - so I will probably be busy nursing in the baby's room and changing diapers. I may not even get to spend time with guests. And, as much as I want everyone to meet Mo and coo all over him, I want to keep him close to me and away from germs or dangers. I know it will be an evening that we will remember forever and as much as I am looking forward to seeing friends who support us, I am also looking forward to Tuesday - lying around, cuddling with my baby, in my cozy and quiet house.

Congratulations on this important milestone. I wish I could be there to wish you all well. Love to you, Teddy, Maxie and Mo - Carm.
I hope it went ok for you (and Mo) Abby and that it wasn't too overwhelming for you all. Thinking of you x.
I hope how ever it goes it will be the way you want it to be! Congrats to Mo and all of your family. I can just imagine Maxie by Baby Mo's side through it all. Best wishes as always!
I so wish we could be there today but I will be thinking of you and the entire family today from across the pond. I love you all and as soon as I get back, I will be there.
Cuddling with your baby in your quiet, cozy house sounds JUST RIGHT. xxoo
