Midnight ramblings
I haven't posted since being a mom of 3. Quite frankly, I am not sure anyone but me will read this.
Way back I posted how differently I felt after each of the other 2 birth. So here is my recap and recall of #3. With Kelvan, I wanted to share him with the world because I felt the world helped me. With Brenton, I wanted to hold him tight and protect him from the world. In some ways I still do this with him. With Dextin it was strange. As soon as he was born I felt like he had always been here and yet I couldn't get over the fact that he was real. I'm not sure if I wanted to share him or hold him tight. It was bizarre because I wanted both.
Knowing Dextin was our last I have tried to savor every moment of him. The midnight feedings, the needing to be held. He's my baby. I feel so blessed to have 3 healthy and happy boys.
This week we went through and gave away the newborn and 0-3 month clothes. I was fine until the message telling me they had been dropped off. There is a bit of sadness. This is my last snuggle times and I realize this. But I also realize this is the last Late night snuggles, the last midnight bottles, the last diapers. There is so much about this itty bitty little family.

I know how hard it is. Now you realize why I wanted grandchildren so badly.
