As I sat on our couch, taking a breather (so necessary whether your preggo or not), I watched the girls play together with their new mansion of a Barbie doll house. I remember my childhood like it was yesterday. Actually I still feel like it really wasn't that long ago but as the big 3 0 came upon I realized that I've grown up. Did you ever have a real WOW moment that time has just been flying by you? I know, everyone tells you to love each moment of life and be grateful for the time you have, and the time you have with your children. Now I'm finding myself saying this to other new moms. And I feel like I've listened to their advice, but never enough. "I have a 4 year old." I heard myself say out loud. Yup, DH laughed at me. But seriously
I have a 4 year old, a 2 year old and a big baby bump that isn't getting smaller anytime soon! Where the heck did time go!!! I find myself wanting to squeeze both my daughters...forever...like it would help keep them small and adorable. But on the other hand I can't wait to see what God has in mind for their lives.
As I look back on 2011, look back through pictures, it pains me to think I will never have those exact times with my daughters...ever again. Yup sappy, preggo here! But as I look forward to meeting my love #3, I can't wait to see what 2012 beholds.
Hang on to each day, each minute, but don't hold on so tight that you forget to look forward to tomorrow. Because tomorrow is coming whether we like it or not.
