Motherhood Side Effect?

Seriously, I do not have a green thumb.  I usually manage to kill whatever plants and flowers we have.  As you can imagine, I was a little nervous when Todd's sister Ashley sent us an Amaryllis bulb for Christmas.  I was very happy to get it, but so worried about not being able to make it grow.  It's not like I could even kill it because there wasn't really a flower to kill.  I had to grow it from scratch!  The gift arrived with only the red ceramic box with a pot of soil.  The package included directions and a picture tempting me of what I could have if I could make this flower grow.  I followed the directions and voila... 2 months later and I have a beautiful flower!  Well really, 4 flowers!  Amazing.  Could this be a side effect of motherhood?  The flower is beautiful and really makes me happy.  Thanks Ashley for having the confidence that we would be able to do this!
