I love kids. My middle one is the biggest challenge I've faces so far but he's all mine ;). I think the hardest part for me is constantly worrying about them (I think that's why it took so long for me to even let them ride in someone else's car). After the post I think Olivia deserves everything on her list - especially the spoon with the last bite of cheesecake. I hear it makes a cool noise when it hits the floor.

It's such a treat to be your child's first teacher and to get to see them learn new things e.v.e.r.y. single day. I always call Olive my sidekick and I really do enjoying hanging out with her. I also like to introduce her to my favorite things!! Good for you for being such a positive parent. Olivia will treasure these words that you wrote some day.PolkaDottyPlacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16251286113250727239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061368067595420235.post-87187049289321584382014-12-09T22:08:02.831-05:002014-12-09T22:08:02.831-05:00I can totally relate to those 'this was too ea...I can totally relate to those 'this was too easy' feelings.

You will enjoy it so much! We just put her to bed an hour late tonight because she was in such a good mood and we both wanted to keep playing with her.

So getting pregnant, and getting pregnant so easily was really scary for me. "It can't be this simple" kept running through my head. I have a whole new appreciation and understanding for what being a mom is now. Yes, two years later, we have our fair share of rough days- but the smiles make it more then worth it!Jaimee {Beyond the Clothing}http://www.beyondtheclothing.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061368067595420235.post-61915915482910251922014-12-09T11:34:50.769-05:002014-12-09T11:34:50.769-05:00I totally agree!!!

It was a long road to get here, but once she slept through the night at seven months, we were determined to never go back. I do realize that the next one could be a disaster.

I love the honest posts about people not having everything together, and it makes me realize that we are all in the same boat. If you ask Dan about dinners, or saw my laundry, I definitely don't have everything together. And the posts that are hysterical about difficult children are some of my favorites! But I think there aren't quite enough outlining the joys. And when pregnant with Olivia, I really could have used a post like this.

I also agree, I want to wake Hallie up sometimes when she is asleep because I miss her! We had a sitter come for the first time since she was born the other night and I was so jealous that she got to be the one to snuggle her before bed that when I got home I got her out of her crib so that I could do it! lolKelly Mockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128848831417736204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061368067595420235.post-76746404450275503492014-12-08T17:21:57.039-05:002014-12-08T17:21:57.039-05:00This is a beautiful post!

As scared as I was to have Damian so 'early,' the kids are the best thing that's ever happened to me despite how difficult it can be. However, I think the fact that you could get 12 hours of sleep if you want may be an unfair advantage you have over me ;-) Oh, how I miss sleep lolMary Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15298644122392546399noreply@blogger.com
