Wing It Mom

I miss 2006. And 2004. And 2001. Time keeps on marching forward and I feel like I am slowly losing my children's childhoods. I long for the days when I could hold them and rock them and nurse them. I wish I could go in reverse a bit and hold my babies again. I wish there could be more babies for us in the future.

2001 and 2004 definitely strike a chord with me because I had a son born each of those years. While going through boxes of pictures from 2001 onward for my son David's tenth birthday post I was getting "that feeling", like , "Where's my little baby boy?" Each picture seemed to bring back memories of a time more slowed down, more simple (although at the time it didn't seem slow or simple I'm sure!).
Ahhh, time goes on... sadly.

Yes. At the time it seemed endless, looking back it seems so fleeting... At the time I was very frustrated that all I seemed to get done for a year after the baby was born was sit in my recliner and nurse the baby, now I would LOVE to have that time back.

It makes me sad to think that I will never get to experience that again. :-( I have had some serious complications from the strain that pregnancy puts on my body. Better to be a mom to the ones I have been blessed with than to risk my life to have more children and leave them all motherless.

My first baby will turn ten in September - that hardly seems possible!! My how the times flies!

"Therefore I tell you, do you be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is now life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? Any why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you needs them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. "Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
