...when did they grow so big?
As I did my nightly rounds----tucking everyone in, making sure everyone is warm, and outside doors are locked----I couldn't believe how big my children are now. It makes me sad and happy at the same time. How is that for making any sense? This is my baby---the little one. What happened??? She is already starting to lose the chubby-cheeked baby look And seriously...I gave birth to that? He is huge. I can't believe how quickly time can pass. Where have my babies gone? Don't misunderstand me...I am looking forward to every passing minute and getting to know the new stages, but I never saw too far past the diapers and (advance apologies to any guys that read this) breastfeeding. I am in unknown territory now. ...But I had absolutely nothing to do with this one.
It's a day at a time. Be patient with yourself.
ReplyDeleteA challenge (dear friend):
Try sleeping eight hours a night for thre straight weeks.
I think for me, this is really good advice. If I could just turn myself around on the sleeping thing, I would be happier.
ReplyDeleteYou are a blessing. (Forgive my misspelled word---I know how to spell "three!")
ReplyDeleteOne day at a time is right. Sleep, oh how I agree with you there Rachel.
ReplyDeleteThe Southwest airlines commercial tag line, "Wanna get away..." comes to mind :)

It would be so nice to have some juan on juan time with your kids to be able to share all those books about their Mexican heritage with them.
ReplyDeleteAHHH, sorry, I couldn't resist!!!!
btw, I have Culture Shock Chile...it was pretty interesting!
ahhh...where would we be without our cheesy friends. I knew you would have to work that "juan on juan" thing in someday ;)
ReplyDeleteI think that I am gong to buy the culture shock:chile next. I think that the culture shock books are sort of like cliff notes to a country. But it beats ignorance any day, right?
