One thing I've learned that contradicts an assumption you've made, is that as they get older I DO have more time to do... whatever. My baby is 8 months old now. He crawls away from me to play with his older sisters! Now, having one or even two babies was pretty difficult for ME, even though my eldest was 2 years 7 months when our #2 was born. But #3 and #4 are SO so SO much easier!!!<br /><br />Also, something I heard/read recently, which was super comforting and I can kinda SEE: you were created to be HER MAma. So, even though there may be days you wish you could do over because you just made SO many mistakes... they were the kind of mistakes your little one could deal with and flourish as a result of.<br /><br />And to leave a poem I VERY recently read: Clearning and scrubbing can wait til tomorrow... for babies grow up we've learned to our sorrow... so quiet down cobwebs... dust go to sleep... I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep!!<br /><br />That poem is all TOO true. I can hardly beleive I've had my eldest for more than 7 years!!! And can it be REAL that my baby was born EIGHT months ago... with a 3 and 5 year old in between the eldest and youngest... just cherish the time with your baby is what I'm trying to say. :)Torihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11901588112351881534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704707098860900814.post-30711552165120083012011-10-24T18:45:14.772-04:002011-10-24T18:45:14.772-04:00You are a wonderful mom!!You are a wonderful mom!!Momnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704707098860900814.post-41731585924066216362011-10-13T17:00:46.842-04:002011-10-13T17:00:46.842-04:00danielle that post was from me ..danielle that post was from me ..Kaleenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06031458280680374873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704707098860900814.post-82392905533411377752011-10-13T16:59:28.751-04:002011-10-13T16:59:28.751-04:00What a beautiful post.

I have lots of friends and family that have children and those who I have seen happiest (even during the frantic moments) are those that take the few moments for themselves. And I think you are right in saying that even when you take those few moments Gracie will still be fed she will still be loved. I think that is what is most important. What a great post!Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02622803055544846517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704707098860900814.post-20397034541629918502011-10-09T19:36:04.166-04:002011-10-09T19:36:04.166-04:00Very true!

Oh she is just beautiful and you are as well, even with spit-up all over. :) You know I have found that the best thing for my kids is to take time for me every now and then, to recharge and regroup. I find that I am happier which makes them happier because I am not a grump. :) Take a few minutes here and there for you, you are a wonderful mom and I believe me I know the guilt feeling but it will go away for the most part and you will find that it makes life a little bit easier. :)<br />Hugs!michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17757389045798739976noreply@blogger.com
