Lately I have been seeing a lot of viral blog posts and writings about women talking about their "last baby".
I have yet to feel that last baby bittersweet-ness that those posts are about. I am relieved to be done with pregnancies. I am thrilled that I will not be sharing my body with another human being growing inside it. At the same time praising God that I was able to conceive and carry to term two healthy babies. It delights me that the days of buying diapers are halfway done.
Don't get me wrong, I love the baby stage. I love the softness of a newborn and their non dirty diaper or puke smells. I love how they can sleep in your arms, so tiny and warm.
I do not like erratic sleep patterns, inability to communicate effectively, and random screaming and tearing the house apart.
With every good gift there is a not so great gift and its normally called making messes, throwing fits, and being very tired.
I am super blessed to have both of my babies.
I am super duper blessed to not be depressed over the fact I am done (as far as I am concerned) with the babyhood chapter of my life.
And....I am totally thrilled my little man is 18 months old today. I love you.
What a cute photo. And happy (late) 18 months, little man!
