“The submission of one’s will is really the only uniquely personal thing we have to place on God’s altar. The many other things we ‘give’ … are actually the things He has already given or loaned to us.”

I cried today...just a little



So I cried today, but just a little. I was cleaning Lachlan's room, going through his clothes. I was putting away his 0-3 month clothes, and getting out his 3-6 month clothes. Now, he's not totally out grown his 0-3 month clothes, but some of them are starting to look a little tight. So, I thought I would move to his next size. I didn't realize how much it would affect me. We worked so hard and for so long to get our little miracle baby. Now he's here, and I don't want him to grow up. It has been so amazing and so wonderful having a new baby, and I know it will be just as wonderful as he grows, but still...we may only get this chance once. I just love him and everything about him so much...now can you see why I cried today...just a little?

Sorry to tell you, but, you'll keep crying. Because pretty soon he will be in 6-9, then 12 month clothes. You'll smile / cry when he walks and starts to jabber. Then before you know it he will be in nursery. Cooper started primary the first of the year and, I cried. It's hard being a mom - but worth every tear. Enjoy it. :-)

Just wait until he's 22 and about to become a daddy. Then you'll really cry.

I enjoyed your talks today. Thanks.

Man, those other comments are exactly what I was going to say. Sorry to tell you, it doesn't get any easier. Just enjoy every moment and take lots of pics, that's all you can do. :)

I feel your pain. Can't believe how fast our little bundles are growing.

See you soon!

I did the same thing. It doesn't get much easier either. I am in awe at how fast babies grow. Your baby is so adorable!

Hey Pepper!! How the heck are you girl? I'm glad I found your blog... Quit your crying and enjoy it! Breathe in the night time feedings and lack of sleep, who would want to take the time to sleep and miss any of it anyway? It just gets better and better. I wouldn't trade being a mom for anything. It's the best thing I've ever done. Absolutely the hardest, but so wonderful.

I think that I can relate with you. Everyday I am thankful for our little miracle. She makes me smile, and laugh everyday. Honestly can life get any better than this. Thanks for letting me know that its okay to cry when you are folding clothes and putting them up and away.
