For your series, are we talking photos or the real deal? Sounds like a neat project. Ps. with my new rockstar status(ha) just want to thank you for being here from the beginning.<BR/><BR/>rp- <BR/>I know I'll feel better when I'm past it and I can move on to the next stage, I mean at 9months, 4 and eight, it's not like freedom is staring me right in the face and the rest is good stuff too.<BR/><BR/>QMutha- <BR/>I remember reading your stuff. Like I said above, I know it will be fine, even great it's just the moving on, I'm so good at it with so much other stuff but I guess this motherhood business defines me more than I'd admit and I love being a mom to a baby, big kids too but it's so pure and easy at the beginning.<BR/><BR/>LoveBites-<BR/>I'd cry a little no matter what, because I am a giant baby.<BR/><BR/>sam/heatherlisa- <BR/>that's exactly how I feel, like you start to remember only the best parts(thankful our memories are generally like that) but forget the nausea, the heartburn, the leg cramps, the labour, the sleepless nights, the praying that your baby is healthy, the first few walking zombie months.....you know the drill, it's hard and it's good to be done but there's still that teeny, tiny part of me...formerly funhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04915882376165190052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748884779372791877.post-32916218967199113062008-07-28T18:47:00.000-07:002008-07-28T18:47:00.000-07:00*Sniff* you know how to express exactly what I am ...*Sniff* you know how to express exactly what I am feeling. Ruby is nearly 9mo old and I am saddened at how fast it has gone. This is our last one and I am having a hard time coming to terms with that. It's nice to know that I'm not alone.<BR/><BR/>(((hugs))))lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00640284838816571344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748884779372791877.post-55171664200788883792008-07-28T11:26:00.000-07:002008-07-28T11:26:00.000-07:00Thank you for articulating one of the complex stag...Thank you for articulating one of the complex stages of motherhood. Yes, a strange passage, indeed (thanks riverpoet!). I'm making that passage more final towards the end of next month, and I'm having mixed feelings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748884779372791877.post-53039834887921734922008-07-28T08:18:00.000-07:002008-07-28T08:18:00.000-07:00Arrghh!

I am going through the same thing, my youngest being nearly 8 months, the farther she gets from babydom the more I think maybe just one more would be ok. We've always said she is the last but when I think of all of those lovely things you mentioned I hate to think that I won't get to re-live those moments just once more. Then I think about another pregnancy, another two year old - hmmm. I'll keep thinking! Congrats on the walking, not the real fun begins!!!Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17253284262113460704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748884779372791877.post-29200821331244926912008-07-28T08:02:00.000-07:002008-07-28T08:02:00.000-07:00You've been reviewed.

Even with six kids, it was hard to finally call it quits. I guess it's just in some of us. Good luck dealing with it, I still have a lot of baby stuff in the attic that I can't part with yet.Queen Muthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284443760559030025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748884779372791877.post-86214386386344097842008-07-28T05:43:00.000-07:002008-07-28T05:43:00.000-07:00I can relate to this.

One of the reasons we had a storage shed (read: money pit) for so long was because I couldn't part with every single thing the kids ever brought home from school. Eventually I thinned and thinned and thinned, and now things fit in our house. <BR/><BR/>It's hard to realize that you don't want/won't have more children. It's a strange passage for us women. I wish you well as you process all of this. <BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, hold those special memories in your heart.<BR/><BR/>Peace - DRiverPoethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846730934649303857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748884779372791877.post-24075239160376428052008-07-28T04:46:00.000-07:002008-07-28T04:46:00.000-07:00Well, it may be your babies' last firsts, but with...Well, it may be your babies' last firsts, but with 3 kids, your chances of being a grandma are pretty awesome. Think about it - all the baby fun at a fraction of the labour and the cost. You might not get to breastfeed again, because frankly, that would be weird, but all the other wonderful baby things will be there for you to enjoy.<BR/><BR/>And - congrats on Walking Baby! Go virtual niece, go!<BR/><BR/>Incidentally, I'm incorporating objects like baby shoes and other kid paraphernalia into the painting series I'm working on, so if you feel like having some of your bebe things immortalized, pass 'em along.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
