I still remember the day that I found out I was pregnant with my first child (Brooke)...October 31, 2004. In a matter of seconds my life as I had known it had changed and in that few seconds I felt just about every emotion that one can feel...I was sad because my life was changing...I was excited and happy and scared....I was going to be a mom and my life would NEVER be the same. I remember my pregnancy very well and I remember the day we found out it was a girl (then I was REALLY excited). I remember the day that she was born and the first time I held her....matter of fact I don't think that child got put down one time while we were at the hospital...I was one proud mama...she was perfect...and I was right my life would never be the same from that day on. Well in three weeks my little "baby" is starting kindergarten and here I am feeling that same wave of emotions I felt on October 31, 2004. She is really excited to start school and I am excited and happy for her. I am also sad...I am sad that we won't get to snuggle at nap time (or anytime I want) and I am sad that our days won't be the same as they have been...and (like any mama I suppose) I am scared. I don't want her to be independent...I want her to need her mommy :-( I asked her last night as we were snuggled up in my bed watching a movie together if she could just stop growing and stay with mommy forever and she replied (as she rolled her eyes and let out a huge sigh), "I sure wish I could!" She has NO idea how much I wish she could to. I feel like it was October 31, 2004 just yesterday and yet she has grown so much. She has the sweetest heart of any little girl and I am so proud and THANKFUL to be her mommy, but can she please stop growing!!!
