I spent a few hours sitting in my pajamas talking to a very dear friend about the anticipation of motherhood when you're pregnant, the reality of motherhood when the baby (babies) arrive and the love, joy and heartache that comes with parenting. I saw this video and it was perfect. What would have I have told myself one year ago?
savor every moment and enjoy the present.

I dont know why but that made me cry
Wow Kenz, that was awesome. I seriously got a little choked up. And I can't even relate. :) Pretty amazing.
wow that really made me cry. Alicia is now 6 weeks and I feel like my days and night are so long and hard. This is what I needed to see. And in time I know I will forget how hard it is when my baby can run into my arms and tell me she love's me.
That was pretty cute...People do survive sleep deprivation :) I haven't slept for more than 5 hours strait in 6 months. ( I think she slept for 5 strait hours last night, but I still woke up 3 times).
I think I'd tell myself the same thing I am TRYING to tell myself now: make the kids your priority, not the cleaning, the cooking, the expectations, etc. Make it about them first and foremost. Even though you don't want to :) they do, after all deserve it. I deserved it too, and didn't get it. So I owe it to them to be better and make them the most important thing and remind myself they aren't just an accessory to my life, they are the reason for my life. (whether I like it or not) If you want your own life, why would you create another one?
We need to hang out this week. I miss you, I haven't seen you in a week and two days! You should just come visit me for a bit one day and we can have some "blanket talk."
