So, last night....Caleb decided he wanted to wake us up several times to eat, must be a growth spurt, but none the less Josh, Caleb, and I were awake. While laying in bed exhausted and feeding him.....I began to think how fast time has been going these last few years. I remember sitting in bed feeding Nathan at 3am when he was only about 8 weeks old, as well as Lindsey, and now here I am.....almost four years later....feeding Caleb. Its hard to believe that Nathan turns four in the next few months, Lindsey is well into being two, and Caleb is two months. When I found out I was going to be a mommy for the first time, I was only 19 and two months into being married. I was so scared, nervous, anxious, etc. I look back on those feelings now and laugh because these kiddos are the biggest Blessing! They make me laugh, make me feel old, make me feel young, make me feel like I am going crazy, etc but I wouldnt change anything for the world! So, as I laid there in bed late last night/ early morning....I thought....thank you God for the Blessing of my children and the extra time I got with Caleb in the night....soon he will get older, sleep through the night, and not need me to feed him bottles.
Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.
(Psalms 127:3-5 ESV)

I LOVE everything about this post! My favorite part was seeing Baby Lindsey. I remember those days like they were yesterday as well. I remember Grammy being SO excited coming to get Nay Nay after you delivered her. I feel very blessed to have been a part of them growing up as well <3 Caleb looks SO much like Nathan! Really, Kristin, you can only claim Lindsey because those boys are all Daddy! Which bring back another memory of Grammy being so happy when Lindsey was born and saying, "we actually have one the looks just like Kristin!" LOL. All and all you have beautiful babies and they have a GREAT family! You should feel blessed. Miss you and love you ALL!
ReplyDeleteThat was a really cool post! Brings back great memories!!
ReplyDeleteYour blog today brought tears to my eyes, hon......so beautiful!! It's awesome to have such a beautiful perspective in the midst of the moment, rather than just in hindsight when your babies are grown! You're a good, good mommy! ♥
