And yet another milestone
| Posted in Baby Z | 4 Comments » |
So I no longer have to carry a diaper bag.
My daughter uses an actual toilet now.
And I’m happy and excited for her. What a big girl!!!
And yet, what a big girl.
I hate it.
I love kids. Especially my kids. But I love, love, love the early stages.
I have easy babies, they sleep within three months, eat really well, I pump milk like a freaking dairy farm and I just love the sweet, soft cuddles of a baby.
Sure, I love the cuddles of my toddler girl, I love hearing her talk all. the. time. I love seeing the world through her eyes.
But I miss that baby stage, and unless God has other plans for us, we’re not having more children because we’re very careful these days. Every month I ask, this month? And he says no.
I wonder at what point will I stop being jealous of seeing a blogger announce her pregnancy? Because that is really the only emotion I have as each Catholic blogger I follow announces another baby. Big freaking sigh.
In the meantime, here’s to carrying a purse again. Does this mean a new purse is in order for Christmas?!!! I hope so because I already have one picked out.
From Shea:
I buy school pictures every year because I’m almost OCD about “set completion.” I started buying them, so now I have to finish so that at the end I’ll have a complete set. But I do buy the smallest possible package.
From Nicole:
See, I am feeling the same way. But why? I am trying to convince myself that my OCD is not good and this is just taking up space and wasteful spending and resources for me. I don’t even give them to anyone other than both sets of parents. One year, I ordered them 9 months later, just to have a school picture, a picture I never put in a frame!
From Jilly:
Yay for new purses! And big girls! 🙂
From Nicole:
I know! I think I know which purse I want, but it might be too expensive. Sigh! Regardless, my little girl is hilarious and not so little.
