Petra turned eight months old today. More and more I’m considering the possibility that she’ll be my last baby, and that makes each step she takes away from babyhood feel doubly bittersweet. There are some compelling reasons not to have any more kids, but I’m not sure any of them trumps the fact that I want more. At least some days I do. I’m just not ready to be done with the baby part of motherhood. How could anyone look at that sweet baby face and not want this time to last forever?
What a beautiful baby girl! I understand your mixed emotions about her growing up. My second baby (I have two girls) just turned one on March 12. Visiting via Crazy Hip Blog Mamas.
When your last baby is two years old, you will not be ready to give up the 2 year old phase, or the three year old phase, or the four year old phase, or the 30 year old phase. :o)
