Time is passing --- far more quickly than I'd like. I knew life would speed up once we had two little ones in our home, but the pace seems faster than I imagined. I'm not sure if life feels more rushed because Matt isn't here with us, or if this is the new normal. But, I woke up last weekend and I suddenly had a 6 month old, and a 5 year old ---- and I have no idea where the hours, days, months, and years have gone.
Every parent in the world has said to me --- "Soak it up! It will be gone in the blink of an eye." It seems that having a baby in the house gives me more perspective into just how quickly phases pass. I remember when Katie was learning to crawl, what a short time ago it was, and how quickly Jenna will be 5, and then there will be no babies in our home to snuggle up.
Now, its not all sunshine in roses. I couldn't tell you what 8 consecutive hours of sleep looks like. And at this point, I think my body would revolt it if happened. But, I'm doing everything I can not to rush it. To try and just ENJOY the madness --- and to remember how fortunate and blessed we are in the midst of the chaos.
Part of my realization is a commitment to blog more --- document more! This is most likely an INSANE commitment given my time constraints. But, I'm going to try. I logged into our blog today and realized I've missed 2 months. 2 MONTHS!!! Yikes.
