Bye Bye, Baby

DAILY SNACK

Irene is now the same age Colum was when she was conceived.
It makes sense.
She has been waking up and playing with her baby dolls.
She sits on the couch and “reads”.
She does a lot of cooking on her play stove.
She fights with her brother,
And sometimes she wins.
She is more girl than baby now.
And she needs me less.
I’m getting so much done!
So it makes sense,
That at 21 months of age,
You might start thinking about another baby.

And, no, I’m definitely NOT pregnant.

Isn’t it funny, those moments where everything seems just wonderful and as it should be and you think, “I could definitely do this all over again”?

And then something breaks.
And someone cries.
(And sometimes it’s mommy)

It was amazing getting the chance to meet you last weekend!
I hope your Monday is getting off to a good start, it’s really rough for me to wake up and go to work instead of rolling out of bed and bumming around most of the day with no real responsibility!

Great meeting you, too! I’m definitely not gliding gracefully back into my reality this week either.

21-ish months is exactly how old my 1st and 2nd were when the 2nd and 3rd were conceived. It was very strange to pass that time with son #3 and not be planning another baby. He has now passed the age the other two were when their younger sibling was born, and I feel like we’ve passed into a whole new era.
