I hope it wasn’t self-fulfilling to have mentioned that when you look back at the weekend in a year, you’ll realize you were in a complete baby haze the entire time. You have no idea who you met, who you talked to, who you thought you had smiled at but didn’t…it’s nutty. Fortunately, we’ve all had kids too. We get it.

Get some sleep mama. Then take that boy of yours to the prom. He’s ready.

I do seriously admire you. I met you in the elevator during BlogHer and mentioned our sons were about the same age. He was there with me, but so was my husband. Even with him helping me, taking our son for some of the sessions, running off to get food when the darn conference-provided food ran out…I was exhausted and felt conflicted about having brought him. Not that I could have not brought him. But, being naturally shy, it was hard enough for me as it is just to interact with people, much less having to have my energy so divided.

Anyway. Very much admire you. He’s an adorable little boy.

Swooning at that picture of Jasper.

Two years running I am in awe of what an acute mind you have. So many times you stood up and eloquently and incisively put into words what many in the room were thinking. It would have been a poorer conference without you, Catherine, and I am so glad that you were there.

Obviously, you are hormonal. So what’s my excuse? Okay my twins are only 7 months so do I get to be hormonal too? I’m definitely still sleep deprived. Why do I feel like it’s taken me 4 days to recover from 2? I’m glad we chatted. I wished I’d talked to you a lot more. But I will be reading and reading and reading…

I didn’t get the chance to say it to you in person, but I’ll say it now: you are FIERCE. I was blown away by your brilliance in the face of your obvious (hello? polka dots!) exhaustion. It’s time for you to rest, I think.

Here's the thing: I was at your panel. And, I was so, so proud to be a mother, a woman, when you brought your baby to the front.

I know what it feels like to be torn, ripped into a thousand pieces, and yet somehow held together by love's strong bond or sometimes by a single thread. It is never easy, but it is most certainly real. You were, you are, Real.

You are also magnificent, especially with your heart in your sling.

Oh good grief. There has never been anything cuter than that.

You're my idol! I can't believe what you accomplished over that weekend!

Tears or not, you're an inspiration. I love you!

And Motherbumper: Joey Jeremiah? Oy. Remember the hat? LOL
