I only wished for her to hurry up and sleep more than 2 hours at a time, but other than that I've soaked in every precious moment. I am so blessed and thankful that I've felt this way. And your post made me really appreciate that.<BR/><BR/>God helps us realize things about ourselves in different ways and at different times. This is your time, and I pray you continued happiness and joy. <BR/><BR/>Your son is beautiful and I cannot wait to see your second one!Just Jiffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12442961276465790792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25427225.post-46629506807688820742008-10-23T07:15:00.000-05:002008-10-23T07:15:00.000-05:00Your post gave me goosebumps - probably because I ...Your post gave me goosebumps - probably because I just make the incredibly difficult decision of leaving university to come home (it was a wonderful new adventure there, but i sacrificed that for knowing i would work harder at home and because of family commitments) and I'm worried I will look back with regret - but I thought about this and I know that I have to be proud of the decisions I've made, they define who I am - and just like you, you're experiences will help you with your new child (CONGRATS AGAIN - I FEEL LIKE SOMEONE I KNOW REALLY WELL IS HAVING A KID AND I CAN'T WAIT!!!)

Momar and I are now offically retired and I think we can both confess that we spent way too much time worrying about the "future" when things would be "easier". Hopefully we will now spend more time in the "now" because that is where all good things seem to really happen! We will see you all very soon.

I feel exactly the way you feel. There's always something special about your first child that you don't have with the others. I was the oldest and I see my son Nathan being the oldest. He has taught me so much in the last 4 years and I wish I could relive every moment with him. I didn't know 4 years later would feel like 1 year later. I have struggled to find myself through motherhood and being a wife only to realize I like being someone's mom and someone's wife and that this is who I am now. It's hard putting yourself last but I believe in the end we will be able to appreciate ourselves for everything we sacrificed one day.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17785213239757747223noreply@blogger.com
