it’s my party and i’ll cry if i want to

February 13th, 2007

saturday was the baby shower. (i was so distracted by baby stuff i completely forgot to take any pictures.) it was awesome! thank you guys for all you did – too much as always! and so great to see you all!

while gathering the last of the stuff and all goodbyes were said – i realized that was it. no more baby showers. i just had my last one. and for the first time this pregnancy i was sad. and i cried. it was the first last that pushed me over. i still want nothing different and am completely content with being through. but the reality in the quiet empty house it was a bit much.

good thing we went straight back to mandy’s where the hubbies were pretending to sleep (ha ha) and all five of our combined children were running around screaming and laughing. see, it wasn’t the no more baby having that had me upset – it was being out of touch of reality for 2 hours without my 3 little helpers as reminders!

But look at your(almost) 4 sweet babies!!!! ((((HUGS))))

That reminds me of some advice given to me awhile back by a very close friend of mine who has four children…(that I decided not to take)She says …”Don’t do it K.T.,don’t have another one…..you will be surprised at how upset you are at the finality of it all….realizing that it will be your last….”To which I quipped…”but dont I have that same finality when I come to the realization that Kyla was my last….”
She says…”No,because you will always have the option.If it were left up to you,you would have 12 babies-because that is just how you are…..but I am telling you leave that option open….”

Here I am,Months and Months later still thinking about it.Finality has already come to me.

I am so glad the shower went great. I hate I missed it and I am so very sorry. We only have a short time to move, and there is a lot to be done. I understand the whole “final” concept. I am begging Micah not to grow up, I love having babies around. It is not working though. She has six teeth, sitting up, and crawling and he is only six months old. My how they grow too fast.

I had such a good time Saturday! I hope you got much of what you needed and some of what you wanted. :) It’s weird that you posted this… I Just posted similar feelings on my blog. I’ve said the entire time this pg that I’m so ready to be done with the whole being pg thing and can’t wait to have this baby and just rasie the kids. The “second trimester glory days” have me feeling sad that this is it. :( I know clayton is DONE… I see no hope of more babies.. and it is hard. I don’t know about you but I’m forcing this little boy to stay a baby FOREVER. ;)

it’s my party and i’ll cry if i want to
