It's amazing to me how quickly time is passing now. The end of my pregnancy time was DRAGGING by, especially the two weeks past my "due date". But now that Grace is here and I want time to stand still it's flying by. On Tuesday she'll be 7 weeks old. I can't even believe it. I have a hard time with this. I am very happy that she's doing so amazing and growing so quickly, she's such a healthy chubby baby. I know that if the opposite was true I'd be worried sick. On the other hand, I want to stop time right now and have her stay my little tiny, beautiful baby. I don't want her to grow up. I know that each stage is fun, and it's fun to see them learn new things. I am having a good time seeing her learn. She's so much more responsive, and "talking" to us so much these days. But it's hard for me. The other day I spent an hour in her nursery pulling out 3-6 month clothes and putting away all the clothes that don't fit her anymore. I cried when I went to put her itty bitty newborn socks on her feet and they popped right back off. I really did. I sat there and cried, and laughed at the same time at how pathetic I am. I often wonder if it's this hard for every mom. Am I the only one who can't read the books about the things they'll learn in the first year? I can't read about what she'll learn when she's 10 months old...I cry! Silly, I know. Maybe I'll get used to this. But now I know why some people just keep having babies. There's something about a newborn...

Not that I want another yet! haha. I'm enjoying Grace completely and I love having her. I do love seeing her grow and learn... I just hate when she grows out of an outfit.
