Hard saying goodbye to the baby chapter?
Wow it's been so long since I've been in here. But I greatly enjoyed it when I was on my quest for a little girl after I had 3 boys. And I'm forever grateful to this site for in fact swaying and helping me achieve my little girl!! Who I just adore and love my little family of 3 boys and a little princess. I can't believe she is now 2 yrs old . It was always this time that one of my kids was around 2 and I would get the urge to want another baby. Believe me I'm pretty sure we are done since I'm turning 39 soon and so thankful for the 4 healthy kids I have but I do wonder. Wouldn't it be nice to have a sister for my little girl? Did others go through this phase of finding it hard the baby stage might officially over? I'm sure as moms it's hard to close that door. I thought once I had my girl I would be so happily running out of the baby isle but there is still a small part who will forever miss those newborn smells, snuggles and all those beautiful moments. My dh really is the best and if I pushed it he would be ok with trying for a 5th.
I'm trying to be honest with my self that even if I will terribly miss those baby stages I'm not sure if really going through with it is the right answer. So are these just normal feelings of realizing your babies and yourself are in fact getting older? It's really hard to believe when I've spent an entire decade of my life being pregnant, nursing, toddlers and many sleepless nights. I hope others can say the next stage is just as fun and exciting too!! Thanks for listening and please tell me how you got through it😊
