i've been sitting down in the basement in the middle of a sea of baby toys and gear. we are selling everything...even beans little moses basket. and i'm looking around thinking that we are really never having any more children. and i am thinking about how after my babies were born i told myself that if i could just get through the next few months...few years...everything would get easier. and so here we are together (you, blog friends, and me) sitting in my basement as i look around and tell you that i think i missed something while i was waiting for it to be over. it is a crushing feeling really. so let us all remember to never repeat this mistake. enjoy the moment because time is fleeting. xoxo
If it's any comfort it's a season in time you are experiencing and all of the women, mothers before you have also sat on their floors holding their babies clothes, remembering, just remembering.

embrace every moment, even the ones where you are mortified because your 2 yr old is having a screaming fit about getting in the car in the parking lot. i'm sure i'll miss it when he's 16 and having a screaming fit about something else. hopefully i'll remember him doing the same thing when he was 2 and be able to laugh about it.
ReplyDeletemaybe you could save a few things. a few outfits that both boys wore and do something fun with it.
ReplyDeleteIt's never too late to have more kiddos...look at me! But it is a big life change to go back to baby mode, for everyone not just mommies :-) Too bad you don't have any little girl stuff I could snag from you. When is the garage sale?!?!

I think the only thing I'm in good need of is some baby clothes. If you have any gender neutral outfits, pj's, etc. I would love to take them off your hands!
ReplyDeleteWe'll try to make it up on Sat morning. I know we have time, it's just a matter of motivation :-) Thanks!
