I know exactly what you're saying here. I...Ugh! I know exactly what you're saying here. It's hard, and heartbreaking at the same time. I don't wanna let go and have my kids get big and teenagers. Luckily, my sweet, hysterical Mayzie is the most "baby like" of my kids. The others were fully conversational by about 18 months and were moving on with things, because I WANTED them to and I pushed for it. They were potty trained just after two. They never talked like babies. But Mayzie, she's my sweet little baby talker. She's finally saying more and making short thoughts, but mostly just words and cute baby ways of saying them. She keeps acting like she'll use the toilet, but I'm not rushing it. I truly DO want to savor this, knowing it's the end. Anyway...just wanted you to know..I get your pain.Allysonhttp://www.jereandallyson.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7734712521038551440.post-36831132580250625922014-04-06T14:23:05.632-04:002014-04-06T14:23:05.632-04:00Just throwing this out there.....having 5 isn'...Just throwing this out there.....having 5 isn't so bad.

"Well, if I get rid of this and *somehow* end up pregnant again I can just buy a new one!" 'Cuz I love Babies R Us and feel a little deprived I can't buy stuff there anymore. <br />Logically I know I should be done but then I'll think of a blog post where I read every one of the 300 comments with variations on, "that surprise last baby was so special, completed the family, brought us so much joy, you only regret the child you didn't have", etc. and just upset myselfShannanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7734712521038551440.post-68446405677679485232014-02-26T21:32:12.407-05:002014-02-26T21:32:12.407-05:00Okay.

But then today my best friend brings her newborn over and she's all nuzzling up in my elbow (the baby, not my best friend) and I'm all, "I can't even remember why I thought the newborn phase was so hard!" <br />C. But it has to stop, somewhere, sometime, unless we're going to be in walkers and dentures at their kindergarten graduation. <br />D. But it still makes my throat close up when I realize that time marches on.

I'm currently expecting our second and we just don't know. So I am (trying) to savor this pregnancy (even though pregnancy is so not my thing it doesn't agree with me, I don't look good doing it etc) In pulling out all of my daughters old baby things my heart fills up I can't wait to see another little person in them, using them.. I can't imagine having to get rid of it all. Good luck to you, Rita! I'm sure pinterest has a solution to make a zillion and one crafts with old baby stuff?

There are great-grandchildren, and I love them so much.....but they have grandparents to help with them. Your boys' growing up changes my role as well, and although I'm so proud of the individuals they're all becoming, it makes me a little sad, too. But this is the way it works, and time marches on. How blessed we have been with all our babies!Cathiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00721319926097303454noreply@blogger.com
