My brain and heart will continue marching along with my years and I would love to read other peoples reactions to this time. It does seem a little taboo to talk about.Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08024049516588006495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502930.post-84189277514659652682009-09-23T19:12:55.172-07:002009-09-23T19:12:55.172-07:00I like this post.

I like knowing, because here I am, 32 years old, holding my fourth living child, wondering about the fifth, the sixth, the seventh. <br /><br />This is a difficult path. Thanks for writing about how much you love being a mom and how much you love walking this path. It is good to hear you say these things. :)Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14546489539063088564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502930.post-15871081802910255412009-09-23T09:34:21.255-07:002009-09-23T09:34:21.255-07:00I know I became a different sort of mother when I ...I know I became a different sort of mother when I realized we weren't going to have anymore. My youngest is 11 and I was just talking with my dh about this the other day. Gone are the days when I would yearn for another baby. I've come to terms with the fact that God only gave us 2 kids and I have become much more sentimental. I'm much more aware of what my kids are doing and how little time I really have left with my dd who is 13. I'm more apt to appreciate and cherish the moments we have together than I was just a few years ago. I find myself telling a friend that has a baby how much she should enjoy the first few years because they go by so very quickly. What she sees as a burden when caring for her 3 month old I see as a blessing :)Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02978749642618639273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502930.post-72586294415080406542009-09-20T09:54:09.188-07:002009-09-20T09:54:09.188-07:00And because nobody comments on thoughtful posts: I...And because nobody comments on thoughtful posts: I love you.
