A Mom Club Of Olympic Proportions

I've been watching the Olympics all week and I am totally inspired.  I just love the spirit of the Games and savor every second I can get.  Many of this year's Olympic athletes are moms too.  Check out this great Redbook article about captain of the U.S. women's soccer team Christie Rampone, WNBA All-Star and U.S. women's basketball forward Candace Parker, and NCAA champion and marathoner Kara Goucher for more on these elite athlete moms.  The Huff Post Parents Blog also has an article about Olympic athlete moms with beautiful photos of the athlete-moms and their children.  Also check out the corresponding Olympics 2012 Mom Video project.  And have you heard about mom-to-be Nur Suryani Mohamed Taibi?  Not only was she the first Malaysian woman to compete for her country in shooting, she did so while pregnant with a daughter, who is due to be born this September!
