That was beautifully written. I still have a “baby” but it’s shocking to see him turning into a real person.

That picture of him sleeping as an infant is wonderful. What a great photo.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for stopping by my site. And I totally know where you are coming from.

Little Dude is growing much too quickly, and although I cheer each milestone, I also grieve the loss of my baby. I look forward to what he will be come, but miss what he has been.

I try to just live in the moment and enjoy every step of the way. But motherhood is just full of conflicting emotions, isn’t it?

That was beautifully written. Yes, they do grow up fast! I was just telling DH the other day that I’m amazed at how much our first has grown. Having a real conversation with her about whatever. It’s cool. It’s amazing. It’s also very sad – because she’s not little any more.

Cheryl, I know this sounds corny, but I miss the middle of the night feedings. The extra bonding time. When I was going through it, running on no sleep, it was the last thing I wanted to be doing. It’s just so unreal.

Leslie, I’m sure Julia appeared to have grown inches after you came home with Lucy. Sometimes when I see mommies with babies, I think, “I don’t remember Dawson being that little!”

Oh Dana. This was beautiful. As trite as it may sound, they really do grow fast. Julia feels especially grown up now that Lucy is here. I just look at her and think, “When did she get so big?” It’s wonderful and heartbreaking, all at the same time.

It is crazy how quickly time flies. I keep praying for strength to weather through the 3-feedings-a-night thing (you mean she hasn’t grown out of that yet?). I remind myself how different she’ll be in just a few months. She’ll be crawling and pulling herself up and becoming a toddler. I’m trying hard not to begrudge her extra mommy nummies now.
