I can sometimes be found with a milk jug in one hand, the open fridge door in the other, gawking at this glorious photo while time stands still.
I look at that little bundle of heaven I had in my arms and can't believe that my spunky, hilarious, strong, independent, quick, sweet, talkative, constantly-on-the-go toddler easily fit within the length of my forearm not that long ago.
I just want another one of those.
If I wasn't already pregnant I'd be trying to be.
Cuz I just want another one of those. Oh wait, I already said that.
I want to hold an itty-bitty, teeny-tiny child and know that s/he's mine to love, and laugh with, and learn from... as long as I have breath.
Lucky for me that in 27 weeks I get to do it all over again.
Those beautiful expressions on our faces - Enthralled Mama and Proud Papa? They will make another grand entrance.
Yup, 27ish more weeks.
I can't wait.
Take your time sweet baby. Although I can't wait... this mama can wait. Grow well. Grow strong. Grow healthy. This is the only time we'll ever have together when I don't have to share you with the world.
excited is an understatement,

Oh, it is so crazy and wonderful to go back to that time, isn't it? It seems like such a long time ago, but then it all just flew by at the same time. I want to say that I remember reading on one of your posts that you are planning to do VBAC??-- if I get pregnant soon, I would love to keep in touch with you about any info we come across. I'm really hoping I don't have to get another c-section!
ReplyDeleteThat is a really sweet photo! Hope your feeling great and your pregnancy continues to go well. Thanks for stopping by, great to see you
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kerry...it seems so long ago and yet it just flew by. However, for me it was over 2 years ago since I've had a baby in the house. :(
ReplyDeleteOh I want one too...
ReplyDeleteUmmm did I type that. ;)
Me too...me too. Maybe I need to tape a similar photo my fridge in an effort to convince the Hubs.
ReplyDeletethanks so much for this post, i've said it before, but i love how positive you are about motherhood. and it seems honest. most people like to joke about the bad parts but you state how wonderful it is and it's what i need. that was enthralling
ReplyDeleteThese kinds of photos make ME want another. And I hated being pregnant worse than anything. Sigh...but to hold a sweet little baby again.....oh boy. Baby Fever.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful picture. It almost makes me want another. ALMOST (but not quite). Enjoy this wonderful time. It's a season that will never come again.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, and can I tell you? There is NOTHING like the relaxing and confidence b/c you already know how to do it.
ReplyDeleteHUGELY wonderful.
Awe!! I want another one of those itty bitty babies, too!! (someday i'll have another one!). Those first few moments in the hospital are so precious. I didn't get nearly as many photos as I should of, I'd love to gawk at one on my fridge, too! :)
ReplyDeleteawww... what a sweet post! And congrats on the pregnancy! Sometimes I feel like I want another one... maybe someday down the road! Wonderful post!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful picture! I most definitely do not want another one though ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful post! I've missed your writing this week while my in-laws were visiting; your picture today really is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a continued happy and healthy 7 more months!
Posts like this are dangerous to those of us not currently pregnant, lol. My little man looks so grown up today... Not ready for a sibling yet though, lol.
