As a firstmom, this would be one of the greatest gifts, I could ever receive. Anything worth having , is indeed worth the work. Please contact her, just simply say what it is you have just stated...you wanted her to know and be willing to also state you do not intend to intrude, just thought she would like to know, and maybe tell her if and when...you are not going anywhere, and would be open for contact. I would cherish something such as this, and most likely frame it! I cannot of course know what her thoughts will be, but you lose nothing, just for trying! CONGRATS, I AM SO PROUD OF YOU...AND I AM NOT EVEN YOUR FIRSTMOM
