Reflect

When I see moms with small babies, I honestly cannot remember Nathan ever being that small. I sort of remember, but not the way I remember other things, like all of my favorite places in New England or what I was wearing on a certain day. I know I've been with Nathan everyday, but something keeps my mind from landing on really remembering what it was like to have a three, four, five week old baby. I hear moms say, "It goes by so fast." And it does! Sometimes though, I think it goes by at just the right speed. If some of my days were any longer I might lose my mind. But whether my day has gone by fast or slow, there is rarely time to reflect. I've always been a reflecting person. I like to think about what I've done and how I've felt. With mothering, I don't really have time to reflect. I just keeping going. It never stops. Nathan has just morphed into this little boy in front of my eyes. So, I've decided it is good that I don't remember much. When I can't remember, it means I've been too busy going, growing, living and loving. In the mean time, I will take lots of pictures so one day when we are all older, Lord willing, I will have time to sit and reflect...
