There is cake mix and frosting in the cupboard.
B&N sent me a coupon for a free cupcake..
You would think I would be ecstatic.
I am not..
Because even though..
cake and more cake..
are 2 of my favorite things..
It means 1 thing.
Jackson's birthday is coming up.
Soon...
I am having the hardest time with this..
I am sure with Gibson and Aria..
I felt this bittersweet feeling..
But with Jack Jack..
being my youngest,
my baby..
I want to cry..
with my first 2..
I heard over and over again..
"it goes by so fast."
But with my 3rd..
I realize how much that is true.
I love watching him grow..
I love that I get to be a part of his amazing life..
I am so blessed..
to be these kids mom.
And I have loved every stage..
BUT
the baby stage is special..
and we are about to move out of it..
and
It makes me a little bit sad..
it even makes me dislike cake
a little bit..
a very little bit.
I know, Kara. But up they grow in spite of it all. Pretty soon you'll be a different kind of busy--not so much tending to their needs as "babies" but tending to their needs as...well, still your "babies." Here's the thing, even as he grows up (Gibson, too) when you kiss that cheek, for you it will still be that cheek you kissed when you first met him on his birth day. Even when he has whiskers. And your baby girl...? She'll always be your girl. I know this doesn't help much at the moment. But...they will always be your babies.
