Have you ever sat there and had a look through all of the photos of your little one from birth till now? Heck, I’m sure all of you mamas do it all the time like me right? It is like I want to make myself sob…the other night while nursing I decided to do finally back up my old phone and set up my new iPhone 6 (loving it ps!) and do some blog work. And of course I end up in iPhoto and the tears begin, I watched a slide show from the first moments we held our little baby girl in our arms, on my chest in the hospital all the way till now. It is such a harsh reminder when you see these old photos, I will never have those moments back again. Ella will never be 6lbs 9oz again, she will never fit the little space right on my chest and fall asleep needing only the sound of my heart beat…Noah is already growing SO fast, he is 13lbs already!?! Eventually he will be speaking like Ella is, walking and full of such strong character you couldn’t even bottle it up if you tried. What I am getting at is that we all need a reminder once in awhile when the days are tough and you’re rushing it all, slow down mom and smell in that newborn scent and cherish every little snuggle because they are only getting bigger every day, you won’t get these moments back…let them be little! I will ball my eyes out when those dimpled knuckles fade that I swoon over so much and so will you.
On a side note, how precious is the shot of Ella staring at her little brother? She is so in love with him!
