Baby Showers...

They make me sad, because I *sometimes* think that I want another baby. I think it is because I miss the little things. The first time you see and hold your baby, the first time they smile, the first little laugh. I miss the small weight in my arms, the smell of baby lotion, the little grunts when they eat. I miss them needing me for everything and sometimes I wish all my kids were babies again.

I look at my children now though, and can't wait to continue on this journey with them. My youngest will be starting kindergarten in the fall, my oldest will be in third grade, and my middle one will be in first. I can't believe how quickly the time has flown...I just had them, I just changed that first diaper...and now it's "MOM!! I need my privacy--I can wash my hair myself..or "Mom--Where do babies come from?"

Now I get more grownup "first-s". The first crush, the first date, the first ball game, the first prom, the first graduation...It's all going so fast.
