You never really appreciate your mom -- that is until it's your turn in the delivery room. Fourteen hours of labor followed by numerous can't sleep/feel-anything-but-overwhelmed days (not to mention the 18 years -- if you're lucky -- of constant worry) can't be properly admired or fully recognized until it's your turn to take a ride in the big 'ol baby rodeo.
