Do you feel like time flies with your children, do you want to know about mine?

Well I guess if you want to know, you will read. Maybe even reply. Well she is the cutest little thing. I thank God every day for her. She is now going to be 15 months on the 5th. I tell you time has flown by. Faster than its ever gone before in my life. I love her so much. Well during birth and she is my first...I will say it was not a bad labor for her being my first child. I was in labor for 10 hours. True paid for about 2 hours. It wasnt even all that bad. I did get an epidoral. that worked a miracle for me. i was num all the way to pushing. i tell you i didnt feel a thing. it was wonderful. when she came out i said right away i can do that again. lol. well when they gave her to me i said i deffinately can do that again. she was so beutiful. her tongue was moving like she didnt know what it was, im sure she didnt. my dad called her a lizard. my husband was in shock. he recently had the courage to tell me that he was dumb founded. he said the afterbirth coming out made him think really quick and i do remember him only saying where do i cut. i need to cut the imbelical cord. over and over. well the truth came out and he said he was completley nervous, desturbed and wanted to think of something else. i dont have no idea what that was like because ive never seen someone give birth. well back to the subject time flies by. well she is already close to 1 year and a half. i feel like the day in labor was just yesterday. well the first months went by fast, and then after the first months past and the months like 4-8 went even faster and from then till now has went even faster. i dont know what to do. i feel like freezing time and let it just be me and her. i mean i spend all day everyday with her but it feels like its not enough. does everyone feel this way? well reply let me know if im the only one felling this way.

I think that most parents feel this way. I understand completely how you feel. My children are all growing up way too fast right in front of my eyes. Try to cherish every memory you have with her and try to make the good times last just a little bit longer because, trust me, the time doesn't slow down at all!! I think it speeds up. My oldest child is 12 years old now and will be 13 at the end of this year, yikes!!! I can remember his year of being maybe 5 years old and under..but it seems like some of the ages just disappear, sometimes I really have to sit and think about him at a certain age to recall some of the times we have had together during that age. It can be tricky. So if I were you I would be certain to try to keep a journal (which I started one for each one of my children..they don't know this and will get them when I am old and grey). Write in there as often as you can, just about anything, even every little day things, such as what games you played that day, what you may have watched that day..just anything to recall the days and times you had with your child. I really need to get caught up on my journals. I believe you have motivated me to write in them some tomorrow. Thanks for the post. Have a great day/night.

You are definitely not the only one who feels this way , I feel this way every time I look at any of my children . I look at my teenagers and remember everything from the day I gave birth to them and remember all their stages they went through and sit and wonder how the time went by so fast and at times I wish I could freeze time also but if I were to have done this I would never have got to enjoy the other children I have now who mean just as much to me and with each year that passes there is always something new that each of them does that makes us proud to call ourselves mom . Being a mom is the most important thing in my life to me and I wouldn't change anything about it not even the difficutlies of trying to have each of them . One day you are holding your baby in your arms and before you know it they are crawling and then walking and then it is the first day of school and then they become more independent and don't need you as much ( I always find this stage hard lol ) , then before you know it they are asking to go to dances and then talking about boyfriends . It really does go by way way to fast . But each stage they go through is just as new and exciting to see them and all they are learning and just being able to say that is MY CHILD .
