WE WILL NEVER HAVE THIS PEACE AGAIN!" (I ate a lot of pizza when I was pregnant with Shelby. Probably why she has such a love affair with cheese.) Babies are hard work. They are adorable and precious and wonderful and they are hard, hard work. Which you are always doing on very little sleep.Lisa Yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05678112545989802038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822496741660702171.post-82994627049225444212013-06-09T17:19:40.124-07:002013-06-09T17:19:40.124-07:00I have sooooooo been there. All honesty, that'...I have sooooooo been there. All honesty, that's exactly how I felt pretty much the entire first year with my first born. It's like you took the words right out of my mouth. The words I've only been brave enough to admit to a very few. I won't lie that there are still times that almost three years later I still feel guilt over how I felt during her first year, but I can say that it does get better. He will get bigger and will be in the same stage Tommy is. With the second baby on the way, I'm very nervous about how I'm going to react, like you said...Olivia is just so easy at almost four. But I've already started reminding myself that it's just a season, it too will pass and before I know it, the three years will fly by and I'll be staring at Amelia wondering how she got so grown so fast, just like I do Olivia now. Hang in there. I know it's not easy, but you're doing a great job, no matter what you may feel.

I still have it... just this week I talked about how nice it would be to go to a hotel all by myself. and it would, but then I feel guilty for feeling that way when I won't have them at home too much longer... It is all messy. But worth it all. I'll be praying for you!What's nexthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06631924816595366560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822496741660702171.post-30175079570010179332013-06-09T14:40:05.044-07:002013-06-09T14:40:05.044-07:00I know this may not seem like much, but you're...I know this may not seem like much, but you're doing fine.
