  Oh I get it. It will pass, and never be had again.... Ever. Chosen, yet still hard to think about sometimes.

  After an absolutely awful night/day yesterday, Jude has given me a night tonight full of snuggles and sleep. I wanted nothing more than for him to grow up to a point where he sleeps like a normal person. But now tonight, as he lays here on my chest, fitting perfectly, snuggling and finding comfort in my arms, all I want is for this point to never pass. But there are things I'm looking forward to. Things like kissing "ouchies" to make them feel better, and hugs and snuggles to make the nightmares go away, and cheering him on in whatever sport, extracurricular or dream he tries to accomplish. I need to learn how to slow down and take each day at a time, because each day provides something new that I can love about being a mom.
  
  Wow, sorry for the thread jack! Your post really got me thinking.

  Oh I hear you. Some part of me is so sad every time Ben does something, or even just grows, because he's our last. Parenting a newborn definitely gets 'easier' after your first simply because you have the perspective that while it can seem like an eternity in the midst of if, they really do grow up too quickly.

  This made me tear up! This is also my last so I'm with you 100%. I love the newborn stage and enjoy watching him change (he started social smiling yesterday!), I'll be sad to see it go.

  I've been thinking about this a lot too. Finn will be our second and last and I'm sad that he's already filling out his newborn clothes and fitting into some bigger clothes. I've been listening to "These Are the Days" a lot lately and it really hits home how fast time is going...even in the middle if the night.

  I'm in the same boat as you. DD will be our last and it makes me sad to think I'll never have that little newborn again. I love smelling her round little head and having her snuggle up on my chest (even though we've been up since 4am).
  
  Last night DH and I were reminiscing about when DS was DD size and I started crying. He's such a big boy now and the last two years went by so fast. It makes me sad to think I'm going to blink and DD will be two. Definitely planning on enjoying every minute of this (no matter how painful it is sometimes).
