QT (quality time) with a little cutie

Don't really know how to explain myself here, but I'll give it a try. I am SO SO SO excited for this little girl to come. Time couldn't pass fast enough. I'm so excited to see what she brings and I can't wait to fall in love with another little human being again.
But at the same time every little minute I have with Jaxon lately is excruciatingly sweet. I feel like our quality time together recently has been extra quality - hence the lack of posts. I just can't bring myself to spend the time to get on here. I thought we always had an amazing bond but lately it just couldn't get more special. I really don't want this to end. I hope he will always be as tight with me as he is now. He's the best little boyfriend a girl could ask for. So fun. So sweet.

These past few weeks I've been trying to capture some moments with my boy (as usual).. I can't help it, I have a ton that I want to post. So sue me. Like I said, just trying to freeze time for a bit.

Just waking up from naptime..

So while I want time to fly so Little Girl can get here, I also want every second to linger. Hard to explain. To think that it's only 10 weeks away... A big change coming our way. How is it, parents of 2 (or more)? Do you feel torn to give each your undivided love and attention?

you have probably heard this time and time again, but your love grows.... I was so scared that I would have to divide my love, to break off a piece from my son to give to my daughter, but no, it grew! I was shocked. And the relationship is amazing, I can only imagine how women with 14+ kids manage, the love is so huge and only grows bigger. I didn't believe it myself, that you could have any more love, but it's there and it is so wonderful... Best wishes to you on a happy and healthy delivery.

I can't believe she will be here in 10 weeks! That is crazy! Can't help you with the parent of two or more thing. You will have to let me know...I think it would be really hard. Tanner has had my all my attention the past 3 weeks...hasn't had to share with anyone. Kids are the best!

You know, I found going from one to two babies is much easier transition than from none to one. It was amazing how much love I have for both my babies and the love I have for Myles multiplied because of how much he loves his "sis". It doesn't get better than this.

It isn't as hard as you may think to spend quality time with each child. You just to make an effort to DO IT and not let it pass you by. 4 is hard but it is easier as they get older and you can focus on their interests. Ages 10, 7, 5 & 2 is a lot of fun! Jax is a cutie!!!

Where are the pregnancy pictures? :)

You know, this is a hard question to answer. On one hand, the love never goes away, but then again, it changes. When I have a new baby I can't get enough of them, can't stand to not be touching them/kissing them/holding them. As they get older it definitely is different, but in a good way. I'm excited for them for other reasons. I don't constantly have to be in contact with them, but we spend quality time with each other all the same.

I guess all I can say is that each stage of growth and developement is so much fun that you kind of have to live in the moment so you don't miss it. Your relationship evolves and you just kind of need to go with it.

So, I doubt that made any sense to anyone but me, but that's the best I can do without writting a book.

And yes, where are the prego pics? If you post one, I might think about it. Ha.

I remember that pregnancy with baby #2 increased those loving emotions. It will only get better as you see Jax and his beautiful baby sister interact. Only 10 week - yeah!

You are literally my idol. You are such a selfless Mom! You care more about spending time with your son before your little girl comes than having time to yourself! You make me feel like I have SO MUCH MORE TO LEARN in the Mommy department...can I say "Mother of the YEAR!"

Josh and Jena said...

I love your blog posts. I wish you blogged every single day so that I would feel this inspired all the time. Best. Mom. Ever! (I was actually just going to write "Mother of the Year" as well...just noticed that your friend above wrote that too. Hmm....2 nominations makes it official in my book! Congrats.)

2 kids is more work and more fun then i could've ever imagined! i wish i could be more like you, you seem like such a wonderful mom and with this grumpy 2 year old i've been feeling like a sorry excuse for a mom ;)but as far as love,i couldn't love them more and i thought i'd never love another human being as much as i do rylee...then out popped taya and my love simply doubled! yay for figuring out all this mom stuff the best and hardest job in the world! hope the last 10 of your pregnancy go smooth!

The Nielsen Clan said...

yay for a little girlie! congrats! girls are so fun to dress up and put bows in their hair! and I have to agree... the transition of having 1 to 2 was 100 times easier than 0 to 1. You are a natural.. you will love it.

I remember feeling that way with Hayden just before Ender was born. It was especially hard for me to know that he would never remember the time when it was just me and him together. But more children just means more love and it will be an adjustment for the better.
