I have lots to catch up on...but first, so happy to hear that your sister will be close to you guys soon!

It was when we started having kids that I really started wanting time to slow down, but of course it doesn't. And I can totally relate to the laundry thing, I am now having trouble discerning between my son's and husbands clothing....<br /><br />I love keeping my journal and also love blogging as I see it as another form of journaling. And I savored all my pregnancies....with all the problems I had, I never knew which would be my last. I do get sad when someone asks me if we are having more...<br /><br />How cool that your sister is moving up! I will have to think of some party ideas.<br /><br />And congrats, Erin on your pregnancy! When are you due?Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12695782474265436464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2343847381959367245.post-17651879192309681722010-06-30T21:48:34.708-07:002010-06-30T21:48:34.708-07:00also, with regards to the "this could be our ...also, with regards to the "this could be our last baby" feeling. I get that too! I feel so dumb afterward because everyone makes comments like "if you don't be more careful, you'll have 15!" I don't care for the comments (at all - and could turn that into a blog post all in its own, but won't) and then I sit here thinking about all the families I know who had 2 or 3 and then weren't able to have anymore. I know God is enough, I know my current family size is enough if its what He's chosen for us... but it is sad when I realize we never do know when its "the end". I admit whenever people see us and say "so your youngest is 21 months old and you're still not pregnant?!" I get that really sad, twinge feeling in heart.Stefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06314577454372964927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2343847381959367245.post-6666047292563121062010-06-30T21:45:18.457-07:002010-06-30T21:45:18.457-07:00I told her it was six months away also... but she ...I told her it was six months away also... but she said "if you count July, then you're not supposed to count December and if you count December, then you're not supposed to count July." But I said "July is still a full month to be had and Christmas is the end of December- a full month." She replied with "yes, but you understand that as soon as December 1st gets here, Christmas itself is here." So I decided she won ;-) <br /><br />Anyway, yes! This is why I've always been quite religious about keeping journals. I would sit and ask Jason's Grandmas things about their past - for a long time, they remembered most of their fondest and hardest memories; they were like digging into a really deep, emotional novel. And then recently, they've both suffered from some memory loss as they enter their 80's. And I suddenly realize (as you said) writing these things down now, to pass onto next generations (before we forget) is so wise. <br /><br />I also didn't know you've "gone public" with the pregnancy! I'll tell my Mom then - she loves hearing exciting news like that :)Stefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06314577454372964927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2343847381959367245.post-25046686330764743512010-06-30T21:34:06.243-07:002010-06-30T21:34:06.243-07:00First things first - Wow! I didn't know Emme...First things first - Wow! I didn't know Emmers is moving. What?!!<br />Secondly - I thought Christmas is 6 months away.<br />But, to your main point - I am feeling it, too. Perhaps because I am wondering how near I am to the end of babies. This is the only pregnancy where I have been wondering "what if this is my last pregnancy?" I know that could have been any of them. But, it has just been on my mind. <br />I have just bought a new journal to take journaling up again. <br />Like you said, you can't get the moments back. But also, memory is failing. Sometimes I have thought, "at least we have the memories". But... not so. That is fleeting, too. Sometimes it is so hard to remember things.<br />All that to say, I am journaling again to record my/our history a bit, lest we forget.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00616238682696645579noreply@blogger.com
