There are days where I wish there were ways to freeze time. Is it bad that when I look at my 2 month old son that I almost see him as a teenager and a man? He is not even a year old yet and here I am realizing how fast time is flying by! Lilly will be three in 25 days and it seems like the past three years have gone by so so fast. Before I had Richie I always questioned how it was even possible to go from loving one child so much to loving two as equally. Lilly & I always did things together, and we had such a special bond, which I think partially had to do with my hubby being deployed for 14 months of her life. I wondered if I could ever love my second baby as much as her.
NOW I know that your heart truly doubles in size & love the more children you have. And I can tell that the bond between my son & I will be extra special; there is just something special between the relationship between a mother and her little boy. I just love him so very much and cherish every moment I have with him. I love that I am all he wants and needs for now. I wish he could stay little forever but all I can do is pray that as he grows, God will always use him for His glory in a wonderful way, and that goes for both my kids.
oh, and if you think of it, please pray for me that I am strong on Thursday when I bring little man in for his 2 month shots & checkup. I always tear up when the doc administers the shots but I know it's something good that he has to have. Thanks!
Sarah...in reference to the shots...you could always do what I do when I bring my boys....I ALWAYS break them up...I will never allow them to have more than one shot in any visit. For example...there are immunizations that have 3 vaccinations in one shot...that is okay...however I won't allow any more to be put in there body that day. When it came time for the chicken pox Vax I delayed it till they were both 18 months. They are supposed to get the MMR with the Chicken pox and I said NO WAY!! So I delayed Aiden's MMR till he was 2 years old...and I will delay Cullen as well. I bought the book written my Dr. Sears and its called the Vaccine Book. It was wonderful and it helped me understand what is in each shot they get. VERY interesting to know what is in them...and some are scary! I am neurotic when it comes to their shots because they have such little bodies and their brains are not fully developed...I don't want anything affecting them! I don't think its a good idea to put all those chemicals into their body all at once...so that is just my opinion and I wanted to give you a good source to read if you are interested! I wish we were closer in distance because I would totally let you borrow it!
