Her responses have often made us laugh, but sometimes they can be very humbling. I absolutely love the honesty that children bring to the table. They have no fear of rejection and they are so teachable by their honesty. <br />
<br />
Yesterday on the way to church we asked Olivia what she wanted to be when she grew up. But we didn't just want any old answer, we asked her specifically what she thought God put her on this earth to do, what was His design for her and how could she fulfill that with our help. She said, "I think God made me to be on a stage." She wants to sing, dance and act. We pushed her a little further and she said, "Actually, I think I should teach kids theater and singing. And I want to teach art." She told me this morning that she has already gone through theater camp so she knows how to be a good actress and singer and she can teach it to other kids.<br />
<br />
Last year we got into a conversation with Olivia about growing up. We told her how mommy and daddy left our moms and dads and went away to college and then after college we got married and moved in to the same house. She couldn't imagine ever leaving her parents. She determined that she was never going to college and never getting married because she didn't want to leave us! She was VERY emotional about this - in fact, she was sobbing at the thought of leaving mom and dad. She said, "if I have to go away to be a mermaid artist then I don't want to be anything!" I'm going to remind her of this in about 10 years! So yesterday after she determined what God designed her to be, Brian said, "so when you grow up and leave mom and dad's house to go to college this is what you are going to go to college for and then get married and live with your husband, right?" Silence. After a few seconds, she said, "I'm never leaving." We just can't convince her that this is actually something she will look forward to one of these days.<br />
<br />
As we were leaving small group yesterday she said something and Brian said, "Okay little Shawnie". She said, "I'm not little Shawnie." I said, "are you a little Brian." She said, "no". So we got into a discussion about how kids have different characteristics of their mom and their dad and we wanted to know what characteristics she thought she got from each of us. From dad she got "she likes Jack's hair (Brian wanted me to cut it shorter for the summer and I absolutely hate it!) and she likes Jack's shirt (Brian dressed Jack for church in a shirt that I personally do not like)." The next question was what characteristics she thought she got from me. She said, "I say a lot of the same things as you." I should have stopped there! This is one of those times where her honesty has humbled me! I asked, "well what kind of things do I say that you say also?" She said, "get off the couch and do something dad!" Of course I never remember saying this, but I obviously did at some point and that has stuck with her. GULP!!!! <br />
<br />
This was such a teachable moment! Sometimes it doesn't matter how much good you do, kids can dwell on the one thing that you did that was less than desirable. It reminds me that in every situation I have to be cautions of the little ears around me. I'm sure that when I did say that about Brian on the couch I said it in a joking manner, but it didn't come out that way when repeated by a 5 year old. <br />
<br />
In my MOPS February newsletter there was an article called, "Out of the Mouths of Babes. Love and Marriage as described by kids." There were several questions that were asked to different kids and their responses. One night at dinner we decided to ask Olivia the questions on the page and write down her response. <br />
How do you decide who to marry?<br />
O: If they look handsome.<br />
What is the right age to get married?<br />
O: 31...because you're not a kid anymore<br />
When is it okay to kiss someone?<br />
O: only when they're a part of your family.<br />
How can a stranger tell if 2 people are married?<br />
O: If they kiss.<br />
What do most people do on a date?<br />
O: Go somewhere and have dinner together by themselves, but if they want to stay home then the kids can be the server and give them a flower.<br />
What do you think your mom and dad have in common?<br />
O: you love me!<br />
Is it better to be single or married?<br />
O: Unmarried because if you get married you will miss your family.<br />
How would the world be different if people didn't get married?<br />
O: No one would have a dad.<br />
How would you make a marriage work?<br />
O: Love each other, put on a song and start dancing.<br />
<br />
I found a great list of questions to ask kids at <a href="http://www.reviveourhearts.com/">Revive Our Hearts</a>, it's called <a href="http://www.reviveourhearts.com/pdf/1-23Questions.pdf">23 Great Questions To Ask Your Kids by Sharon Jaynes</a>. I think this will be our discussion tonight at dinner. You should try it out also. Print it out and ask your kids these questions today. Be sure to write down their responses. Come back and post some comments we would all like to know some of the responses by other children.<br />
<br />
For a couple of years I have kept an index card box in one of my kitchen cabinets. As often as I can remember, I try to jot stuff Olivia says on an index card and put it in there. I put the MOPS article in there with Olivia's responses and I plan to do the same for the questions I linked up to above. It's nothing fancy, but I think it will bring lots of laughs when she gets older. I plan to send it with her one day when she leaves our house to marry her prince charming.mommy to an angelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04859055385556057051noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577873997695087786.post-10832912633877406672010-04-04T19:18:00.000-05:002010-04-04T19:18:45.136-05:00He has risen, He has risen indeed!Thank you Jesus for your humble existence on earth and the cruel death for someone like me. It's amazing to think, you could have come to this earth much differently...perhaps, raised in a palace, after all, you're a king! Thanks so much for the surprise on Easter morning...you shocked the world!<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">----------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div><div style="text-align: left;">On Thursday I took the kids to Indy to visit family for a couple of days. On Good Friday we visited my parents church for their Easter Cantata and enjoyed a children's spring celebration at their church on Saturday. After that we returned home and before going to bed we decorated Easter eggs and did the Easter Story cookies. Easter morning we attended an incredible service at our church and got together with our NWI family for lunch and an egg hunt. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I find myself saying the following things that I thought I would NEVER say:<br />
"Don't sit so close to the tv, you'll hurt your eyes."<br />
"If you keep making that face, it's going to stay like that."<br />
"Hear those sirens? The police are coming for you."<br />
"One of these days he's going to be bigger than you."<br />
"You can't go outside like that, you'll catch a cold."<br />
"We're you born in a barn?"<br />
"If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand time."<br />
If everyone else jumped off a bridge, would you?"<br />
"I'm warning you!"<br />
"Do we need to go to the bathroom?"<br />
"Mind your manners."<br />
"There's kids in ________ starving!"<br />
"This place is a pigsty."<br />
<br />
I have a feeling the following aren't far behind<br />
"Just you wait until we get home."<br />
"Stop crying before I give you something to cry about."<br />
"Life's not fair!"<br />
<br />
I'm sure I'm leaving lots out! What are some things that your mom used to say that you swore you would never say, but have found yourself saying it after having children yourself?mommy to an angelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04859055385556057051noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577873997695087786.post-28278921054503564952010-03-09T17:27:00.000-06:002010-03-09T17:27:14.111-06:00Rub-a-dub-dub, pictures in the tub<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I used to hate the stuff. I hated the colors being mixed so I'd watch over Olivia like a hawk and swoop in whenever 2 colors got close to each other. <div>Olivia has a blast making stuff - it's a little more fun to create stuff when you can use more than one color! She also likes to discover what you get when you mix two colors together.

Early last month, Olivia developed a horrible stomach flu. She spent several days at home unable to keep anything down and having horrible stomach cramps. After a few days I joined her in hugging the porcelain bowl. Olivia was in a lot of pain and we felt like she needed to see the doctor. Since I was unable to get out of bed Brian felt like it would be best to take Jack with him also. Before the doctor sent them on to the hospital for a CT scan they were sent to the bathroom for a urine sample. <br />
I'm sure you wondering where the laughter comes in, right? I mean so far, this is nothing to laugh about.<br />
Brian takes Olivia and Jack into the bathroom. As Jack starts to open cabinets and get into everything, Brian takes the collection cup and.... Well, he kind of just stands there with lots of thoughts running through his head. He tells Olivia that she needs to pee in the cup and so she drops her pants and starts to get on the toilet - she's been in the bathroom at my midwife's office enough to know how girls do this. Brian on the other hand is completely clueless! He tells her to get off of the toilet and stand up. He has her kind of spread her legs a little and he holds the cup up to her and tells her to pee in it. After looking at him like he has 3 heads she tries, but the girl cannot pee in the cup while standing up. It doesn't help that Jack is getting into everything and she's yelling at him while Brian holds the cup with one hand and tries to keep Jack out of stuff with the other hand. <br />
Brian finally realizes that she is going to need to sit down on the toilet to accomplish this. Olivia sits down and Brian is baffled as to where he puts the cup. He starts to put it in the front but decides the holding it under her from behind will be the best option. He finally gets into place and is ready for her to pee...and he drops the cup in the toilet.<br />
He goes out into the hallway and asks a nurse for a new cup. The nurse also offers to take Jack to help out a little. Brian takes the new cup back into the bathroom and attempts this again. This time Olivia was successful at getting pee into the cup...and all over Brian's hand. <br />
This is when Brian knew that there was something wrong. He told me, "when she peed it just went everywhere and not in a straight stream!".<br />
Thank God Olivia is only 5 and will hopefully never remember this. If she does, it will probably come out in a therapy session many years from now.mommy to an angelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04859055385556057051noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577873997695087786.post-31875665876268467082010-02-16T21:59:00.000-06:002010-02-16T21:59:49.778-06:00Sibling RivalryI know ALL about sibling rivalry because I have two older brothers. One of the cruelest things I remember them doing was mixing up play-doh until they got an ugly brown color. Then they would roll it up to look like poop and put it in my baby doll's diapers. It freaked me out every time and I hated it!<div><br />
</div><div>I had no idea that the sibling rivalry would start so soon! Jack's only a year and a half and Olivia has been waiting the entire year and a half for her brother to be old enough and interested in playing with her. Now that he's to that point there are times when she doesn't want it. </div><div>Olivia has started the I-don't-want-Jack-in-my-room phase which will probably last for the next 15 years. I know that my children each need their own personal space, but I also feel like it's important to share and part of that means letting your brother come in your room. So the rule I started with Olivia is, "if you have gone into Jack's room today, then he's allowed to go into your room". It seems to be working for now. </div><div>When Jack is in Olivia's room and annoying her, she reacts by taking whatever she is playing with to the kitchen table or somewhere else that Jack can't reach. The other night she was playing Littlest Pets and Jack was in her room "wrecking" it so she brought it downstairs to the kitchen table to play by herself.</div><div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim0heV6xyKjaeBcNjm3pmtImAtscEquHHP_bYKYHCRQFyysz_Fxwde3HGJovWerICkMiWAmQ4Hb2gocORJ048wnSOknUm3R2TXCS5lKicl4830ZQM3rEse63-1w5tNJk87OYmr_Pkiae0/s1600-h/038.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim0heV6xyKjaeBcNjm3pmtImAtscEquHHP_bYKYHCRQFyysz_Fxwde3HGJovWerICkMiWAmQ4Hb2gocORJ048wnSOknUm3R2TXCS5lKicl4830ZQM3rEse63-1w5tNJk87OYmr_Pkiae0/s320/038.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: left;">It didn't take too long for Jack to realize this so he came into the kitchen and climbed up on the table to play with his sister.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK-jsELXgQZVjq6rt9nrm-yiihrbpytXR2nmducKmjNRYzedc1p1gQUAF3Ulg_Az4YVB5wIMN0soEesmbYlKO7mGSuHuXsSxWWx1XcLInED1oCt5eIAPmhyphenhyphenCYVG1MvYLtVyNQkF1VhVqc/s1600-h/048.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK-jsELXgQZVjq6rt9nrm-yiihrbpytXR2nmducKmjNRYzedc1p1gQUAF3Ulg_Az4YVB5wIMN0soEesmbYlKO7mGSuHuXsSxWWx1XcLInED1oCt5eIAPmhyphenhyphenCYVG1MvYLtVyNQkF1VhVqc/s320/048.JPG" /></a><br />

That's why when her mom, <a href="http://nocentsmama.blogspot.com/">Aimee</a>, asked me to make cookies for a Thank You party for Chloe I jumped at the chance!<br />
Early in January, Chloe was out enjoying the snow with family and friends when she lost control of the child-size snowmobile she was driving and wrecked. She was taken by ambulance to a near-by hospital where they stabilized her and prepared her for the flight to University of Chicago. She was in a drug-induced coma with a chest tube and on a ventilator. <br />
When I talked to Aimee that night I was in the middle of braiding Olivia's hair. I sat on the phone and I listened to Aimee cry on the other side. She felt helpless, there wasn't a thing she could do. As a mother, my heart just ached for her. I got off the phone and immediately started praying, calling others to pray and requesting prayer through facebook. <br />
I didn't sleep much that night, but the new day brought about new miracles! That evening, about 24 hours after the accident, Chloe woke up for the first time and was taken off the ventilator. Slowly over the next few days Chloe started to become more Chloe-like! Now, a little over a month later, Chloe is still making improvements. She just finished her first week back to school and doctor check-ups and new scans are just proving how much of a little miracle she is. Chloe will most likely make a full recovery with absolutely no surgery needed - praise the Lord!<br />
Aimee and Ryan were shocked by the amount of people who prayed, offered condolences, and did everything from making meals to sending gifts to keep the kids busy. During these types of situations, you really start to realize the number of people in your life who REALLY do care for you, and even the strangers who God places in your life at just the right time! I'm always so amazed at God's perfect plan and they way he lines things up with such perfection. It was a horrible thing that happened, but it was amazing to see God's hand at work.<br />
Because of the overwhelming support that Ryan and Aimee received, they wanted to throw a Thank You Party to honor all of the people who touched their lives during this past month. The date was set for Valentine's Day and because Aimee and I must have been separated at birth, she immediately started thinking THEME! Every party needs a theme, right? Well, since it was Valentine's day, that made Aimee's task a little easier. She came to me with a fabulous idea and I was ecstatic! She wanted conversation heart sugar cookies that had to do with Chloe's accident.<br />

I was so excited for this trip and to see the look on my children's faces when they experienced Disney for the very first time, but I have to admit, I was just as amazed as they were by the magical things at Disney. It was a fabulous trip and we can't wait to go back.</div><br />

I must say, I think the kids handled it much better than Brian and I did. I think we did more complaining of the heat and exhaustion than the kids did. This probably had to do with the fact that they got pushed around in a stroller all week with fans attached to it! Brian was also feeling pretty bad and waiting for some meds to kick in from a diverticulitis attack. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjfe3rtRcac8_OgeGSGFrrNsHQ9hXMOpL4UOtEykxGLhZVSuHDgHwZjabuGcfy53YdFWiXWvlneLM3RWhHhL8RKrM6v5emI82a1XQj6nGlZniU1Xs5sJasqv_MdAXlzmb_IW9vrtuR1TI/s1600-h/650.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjfe3rtRcac8_OgeGSGFrrNsHQ9hXMOpL4UOtEykxGLhZVSuHDgHwZjabuGcfy53YdFWiXWvlneLM3RWhHhL8RKrM6v5emI82a1XQj6nGlZniU1Xs5sJasqv_MdAXlzmb_IW9vrtuR1TI/s320/650.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

We started the day at downtown Disney where Olivia visited the Bibbity Bobbity boutique. Olivia was picked to be in the front window of the store as she was transformed from Olivia to Jasmine the punk princess. After downtown Disney we went back to our room for a nap before going to Chef Mickey for dinner. At Chef Mickey we visited with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Pluto and Goofy. After dinner the kids got dressed up in their Halloween costumes - Olivia was Jasmine and Jack was Abu (the monkey from Alladin) and we went to the Magic Kingdom for the Mickey's not-so-scary Halloween Party. It was amazing! The park was transformed into a not-so-spooky wonderland! They played spooky music throughout the park and there was fog coming from everywhere. All the characters and cast members were dressed up in Halloween costumes. The kids got to trick-or-treat at different stations around the park. The Halloween parade was absolutely amazing! <br />
We had a wonderful time and Olivia's birthday was absolutely amazing! We got back to our room really late and got in bed, but then I realized that we didn't sing happy birthday to Olivia, so we got a cupcake, put a candle in it and sang - then we ate cake in bed...after brushing our teeth! Dad wasn't too happy about it, but it was fun - Olivia and I just giggled :-)<br />

This was our first venture on a bus - we had been using the monorail which is super convenient for families with strollers. I packed the stroller up and we headed to the bus stop. We were less than thrilled to find out we had to fold up the stroller. We had about 10 different small bags, water bottles, fans...I grabbed both kids and boarded the bus with as much stuff as I could carry while Brian wrestled with the stroller and the remaining items packed inside and out - it was a disaster and took about 5 minutes - everyone on the bus was less than thrilled having to wait on us! After feeling VERY overwhelmed and disorganized, we arrived at Hollywood Studios - the kids were ready to have fun and Brian and I were ready to pull our hair out and go back home. To add to it, Brian had misplaced his Disney card that had his park passes and dining plan on it, so we had to go to guest services and get a replacement before entering the park. Thankfully, Disney has a way of transforming any mood and it didn't take too long and we were having a blast!<br />

We spent the rest of the day playing in Magic Kingdom. We enjoyed several attractions: Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin where we boarded a space cruiser and used our laser cannons to blast away the Evil Emperor Zurg; The Barn Stormer at Goofy's Wiseacre Farm (little airplane roller coaster that busts through a barn); Brian was "that guy" at Monster's Inc. laugh floor; Peter Pan's flight; Olivia was able to keep her hands up on the Big Thunder Mountain roller coaster; we spun until we got dizzy in the tea cups - these were just some of our favorites!<br />
We definitely wore ourselves out before leaving the park!mommy to an angelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04859055385556057051noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577873997695087786.post-59130536914218222212009-10-20T21:52:00.001-05:002009-10-20T21:53:05.491-05:00Disney 2009 - day oneWe flew out of Chicago early Sunday morning dressed in pants and sweatshirts and curled up in blankets. We landed in Orlando and could feel the heat and humidity as soon as we stepped off of the plane. We arrived to our resort, The Disney Polynesian. The resort was amazing and we felt as if EVERYTHING was taken care of by Disney. We were going to be celebrating Olivia's birthday that week and they gave Olivia her birthday button to wear all week. Every cast member throughout the rest of the trip made it a point to tell Olivia Happy Birthday which made her feel like such a princess. In addition to this, she got a cupcake with every sit down meal and they would sing happy birthday to her and she blew out her candle.<br />

Disney definitely knows how to put together an awesome parade! After the parade we went to dinner at the Liberty Tree Tavern where Olivia was treated to her first happy birthday song and birthday cupcake and candle. After dinner we were captivated by the most magical fireworks show in front of Cinderella's Castle. After the show, I was ready to go enjoy some rides and stay up really late - the park was open that night until 11PM, but Olivia was tuckered out by 10 and requesting to go back to the hotel so she could go to sleep.<br />

The trip was magical in every way and we had the best time. We also celebrated Olivia's 5th birthday while we were there. I plan on posting a lot of pics from our trip, but today I just wanted to post one special picture, in memory of our baby Jesse<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Not so sure why I like it so much, but there's just something so cute about watching a child fall asleep while eating. Both of my kids LOVE their sleep and they LOVE their beds. Outside of their beds and the car they rarely fall asleep anywhere - once they're tired they usually ASK for bed.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">A couple weeks ago we went to a summer festival and got home pretty late. I was feeding Jack his cereal before putting him to bed and he was soooooo tired. He started rubbing his little eyes and I knew I had to grab the camera...I couldn't miss this POSSIBLE once in a lifetime photo shoot.<br />

This is a huge accomplishment for Olivia - we set out to memorize Psalm 23 this summer and she did fabulous! I'm very proud of her and I hope she keeps up the great work.<br />
<br />
Psalm 23<br />
A psalm of David. <br />
1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. <br />
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, <br />
3 he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. <br />
4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.<br />
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. <br />
6 Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.<br />

We had a wonderful time on Saturday at Jack's first birthday party. The theme was baseball! We love our Cubbies, but we loved seeing all our friends show up in their different baseball jerseys from all different teams. Thanks to everyone who came out and helped us celebrate Jack's first birthday.<br />
<br />
To complete the baseball theme the menu was popular baseball food like hot dogs, nachos, walking tacos, and of course, ice cold beer!!<br />
<br />
I ordered a set of baseball cookie cutters - at first I debated if I should even add the stress of making cookies to it all, but they turned out soooo good and I'm glad I did it!<br />

If you're like me, trying to find a good deal can sometimes make your head spin! You see a package on sale, but it's a different size than you normally buy at Costco or Babies R Us and you're not really sure if it's a good deal, right? Or is the off brand really cheaper than finding a name brand on sale and stacking with coupons? <div>I came across this chart today that lays it all out there for you when it comes to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Huggies</span>, Pampers and Luvs. It tells you how many diapers are in what size packs and the price to beat per diaper. See a deal you think might be good? Just do a little math before you buy it!<br /><a title="View How Many Diapers Per Pack? on Scribd" href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/15792914/How-Many-Diapers-Per-Pack" style="margin: 12px auto 6px auto; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; -x-system-font: none; display: block; text-decoration: underline;">How Many Diapers Per Pack?</a> <object codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0" id="doc_781135550391395" name="doc_781135550391395" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" align="middle" height="500" width="100%"> <param name="movie" value="http://d.scribd.com/ScribdViewer.swf?document_id=15792914&access_key=key-1m4ho1h2402w8issl0he&page=1&version=1&viewMode="> <param name="quality" value="high"> <param name="play" value="true"> <param name="loop" value="true"> <param name="scale" value="showall"> <param name="wmode" value="opaque"> <param name="devicefont" value="false"> <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff"> <param name="menu" value="true"> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"> <param name="salign" value=""> <embed src="http://d.scribd.com/ScribdViewer.swf?document_id=15792914&access_key=key-1m4ho1h2402w8issl0he&page=1&version=1&viewMode=" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" play="true" loop="true" scale="showall" wmode="opaque" devicefont="false" bgcolor="#ffffff" name="doc_781135550391395_object" menu="true" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" salign="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" align="middle" height="500" width="100%"></embed> </object> </div>mommy to an angelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04859055385556057051noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577873997695087786.post-62544878315323048632009-08-25T12:29:00.002-05:002009-08-25T12:54:02.290-05:00I'm losing my powerYou know the power bar on video games? Starts out as full strength, green bar and as you go on the bar gets smaller and smaller and then when it gets real close to you "dying" it goes red and there's only a small sliver left....know what I'm talking about? That's where I'm at right now, just a little tiny sliver of red left on my super-human mom power bar and I'm super emotional about it! I know that this is another milestone, another page in the book, but I'm having a really hard time right now. <div>Jack's weaning himself and we're done having kids!</div><div>I couldn't wait for the day for Olivia to wean - in fact, she woke up on her 1st birthday and she was done - she didn't ask for it again for a few days and then I couldn't really help her with it. For a couple of weeks now Jack was nursing once in the morning and once at night, but last week he dropped the evening nursing. Saturday he wanted nothing to do with nursing in the morning so I know it's coming. I had no problem with Olivia weaning, in fact, I was happy she was done, but Brian and I thought that after Jack was born that he'd be our last so now that he's starting to wean I'm a huge mess! I will no longer have my super-human mom power of growing a baby inside my body and providing all the nourishment needed to form this baby and I will no longer provide nourishment to a baby through nursing. </div><div>It's such a special thing to me - I absolutely LOVE being pregnant, the thought of my body being capable of "making" another human being is so awesome. I even LOVE giving birth - even with the long labors I tend to have and the fear of medications and epidurals - there's just something very fascinating about the way God has designed women and the way that everything works together to deliver a baby - thankfully I have an awesome midwife that allows MY body to deliver the baby instead of the Dr delivering the baby with the many interventions such as <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">episiotomy</span>, forceps, vacuums, Cesarean...(I know that these things are sometimes needed in lifesaving situation, but unfortunately it has become less about life-saving and more about time-saving). I had an awesome birth experience with both Jesse and Jack - it's just amazing how the body works.</div><div></div><div>I also find it fascinating that after 9 months of growing a baby in my body that I am able to nourish this baby for 6+ months with ONLY what my body produces - it's just amazing!</div><div>I know there are some of you reading this thinking that I'm crazy - we all feel completely different on these issues, but this is MY experience and we see things differently.</div><div>So here I am, knowing that what's occurring is just a normal part of life, another transition. I look forward to the future, but at the same time I really want to hold on to the past and present - I guess it's my way of trying to keep my baby little for just a bit longer.</div>mommy to an angelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04859055385556057051noreply@blogger.com3
