I can't handle the fact that my babies are turning one in two days. I simply refuse to accept it. Since these girls will likely be my only two children, I'd like to keep them babies for a little longer. I'm thinking about another three years. Then they have my permission to become toddlers. I suppose I should inform Audrey of this change in schedule, since she is practically running already (of course, with the help of her walkers, our furniture, and the Laugh n Learn table). Natalie seems to have gotten the memo, what with her refusal (still) to stand and all. I keep telling her she that is the baby of the family.
Someone tell me it will be alright.
I know how you feel, Joseph will be one the day after the girls. Everyone says it will be alright but they didn't carry them around for 9 months, go through the c-section/recovery and all...we did. Sorry, I had a mini breakdown. It will be fine, I guess. I hope the girls have a great birthday & party. We are having ours on the same day as you. Enjoy and have a great day!!

It is bittersweet I know. My guys turned 1 in April. I had a tough time with it. Going through pictures from their birth up until that point...I shed many many tears.
ReplyDeleteI hope the girls have a great birthday party. I can't wait to see pics.
And it's ok to be sad, and to cry. You're a mom...that's the only excuse you need :-)
I am feeling the same way. :o( Hannah turns one in 26 days and counting. If only I could get time to stop for a while so I could enjoy my 'baby' just a little bit longer! Why is it that one of the best years of your life has to go by so quickly? It's just not fair!
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel. My girl turns 1 if 3 weeks...so hard to beleive! Like your little girl my daughter refuses to pull up or walk. She will stand if I set her that way but thats about it. She has just always been laid back.
ReplyDeleteOn one hand you love to watch them reach milestones but once they accomplish them you wish they'd be tiny balls of cuddliness.
ReplyDeleteI gave you an award.

Oh I know! Our LOs share the same birthday and I'm having many emotional mini-crises over the impending "First Birthday"...
ReplyDeleteIt will be ok...I promise. After the stress/tears are gone from their 1st birthday, you have so many more things to look forward to!!
ReplyDelete(that was the best I could do..I'm still sad my babies are growing up so quick too!)
I won't be any help. But I know how you feel. These are my last kids and I just keep thinking, I will never have the baby stage again. Ugh. I can't believe it is a year.
ReplyDeleteI had a tough time with Charlotte turning one, but this has been even harder. I can tell you that while I know I will miss the baby stage, the toddler stage is so fun. It is amazing to see the "person" come out of your baby. If that makes any sense...
They will always be your babies.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not the only one feeling the same way! My LO Evan shares a birthday with your girls.
