Reminiscing

Ttimes3

That's all I want to do, today. I can't believe he's TWO, already. Now I'm sobbing. NFT.

Isn't it crazy how you can make yourself cry, just by letting your mind wander?  I had a very hard time when Justin turned a year, and then again when he turned 3.  2 didn't bug me, maybe because I was hugely pregnant.

He is an adorable two year old, enjoy your reminiscences.

It never gets easier!  Ry will be 7 in 12 days and I'm still in complete shock/denial!  It's amazing how much time flies.  2 is such a fun age though, enjoy every moment of it.

It's INSANITY.  Hugs, I'm right there with you!

I hear ya, TTT! I have been a prego hormonal wreck these days with getting everything prepared for DD # 2's arrival, paired with the fact that her big sis will be 3 in a few short weeks!! Where does the time go? Happy Birthday, Jacob!

I think part of my emotional-blubberiness, today, stems from the fact that DH and I don't yet know exactly where we stand with regard to the overall size of our family. Oh, if money was no object...

Is it bad that, in this moment, I can totally relate to Octomom and Michelle Duggar?

That's tough.  I know where DH and I stand on it, and I still struggle with it.  I'm not surprised you're feeling that way.

This!  DD will be driving before I know it. She was just a tiny baby a few months ago, I swear!!!

DS has completely lost all of his "babiness" and I'll likely never have another one. Makes me sad.

Totally agree.... my first sweet baby is a teenager.  Teenager!!!!  I don't even know how that happened...... It's so sad   Time goes by way too fast....  What is that saying?  The days are long but the years are short... so true.

Oh...and, yes, I realize how crazy all of this sounds, considering J is "only" two and W is "only" four months old. However, it really does feel like only yesterday that J was born and a red.hot.second ago that we got our BFP with W. I remember J's 1st birthday party in vivid detail - from greeting the first guest to bringing J down, after his nap, dressed in his "big brother" shirt to announce/celebrate our pregnancy with W.

::sigh::

I love my boys.

K told me the other day that she's not a baby.  And I wish she'd stop calling me "Mom."

I've felt this way with all of their milestones. I thought I was the only crazy person who didn't want her kids to grow up. At least that's what my mom tells me...

Dont get me started-- I've been weepy all day that Nicholas turns 1 tomorrow! He may be little but he is ALL of 1 year old, definitely not a baby anymore :-( It goes WAY too fast! Happy birthday to your sweet boy!

I may or may not have been balling listening to this Taylor Swift song in the car.. and I didn't realize J was only 1 day older than Audrey. 

 

Your little hand's wrapped around my finger
And it's so quiet in the world tonight
Your little eyelids flutter cause you're dreaming
So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light
To you everything's funny, you got nothing to regret
I'd give all I have, honey
If you could stay like that

Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little
Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple
I won't let nobody hurt you, won't let no one break your heart
And no one will desert you
Just try to never grow up, never grow up

You're in the car on the way to the movies
And you're mortified your mom's dropping you off
At 14 there's just so much you can't do
And you can't wait to move out someday and call your own shots
But don't make her drop you off around the block
Remember that she's getting older too
And don't lose the way that you dance around in your pj's getting ready for school
[ Lyrics from: https://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/t/taylor_swift/never_grow_up.html ]
Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little
Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple
No one's ever burned you, nothing's ever left you scarred
And even though you want to, just try to never grow up

Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room
Memorize what it sounded like when your dad gets home
Remember the footsteps, remember the words said
And all your little brother's favorite songs
I just realized everything I have is someday gonna be gone

So here I am in my new apartment
In a big city, they just dropped me off
It's so much colder that I thought it would be
So I tuck myself in and turn my night light on

Wish I'd never grown up
I wish I'd never grown up

Oh I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown up
I could still be little
Oh I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown up
It could still be simple
Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little
Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple
Won't let nobody hurt you
Won't let no one break your heart
And even though you want to, please try to never grow up
Oh, don't you ever grow up
Oh, never grow up, just never grow up

Yup....I packed away most of my maternity clothes over the weekend and couldn't help but wonder if I'll ever wear them again.  I'm about to cry just typing that out....

OMG - I went through the same emotions when I packed mine up to lend to Rachel!
