I went to the library to pick up a book today. It happened to be storytime. I watched new moms with toddlers and babies walking into to library. I was very nostalgic.
I loved taking the kids to storytime, picking out books, doing the craft. They toddled in; I walked out.

Annie, I can so relate to what you are saying. My baby is 5 and in school now and I can just remember going to the library for the story time

Me, too! My baby will be three on Valentine's Day ... so I'm already feeling very nostalgic. Right now I am the world to them but as they grow older, I know that will change and that makes me feel so sad.

I just feel sad that I don't get to check picture books out at the library anymore. Emily still goes up to the children's department to check out chapter books, but I know my time there is limited. Someday soon, I will no longer have to go up to the 3rd floor anymore.

I still feel that at my age. When Madison was a baby, I had a slight reprieve because Jules was here with her a lot.

I just told Jen last week, that I couldn't wait for her or one of the others to have a baby, because I was needing a baby fix in the worst way. LOL Though, I honestly don't want them to have babies at this particular time. LOL

But I do understand how you feel, I think if you are a *baby* person, that probably never goes away.

I was very sad when Blake was 3 and 4yo...Knowing he is my last baby was hard. I told him all the time I wish he would stay 3 and then told him the same thing at 4yo... lol

Now he is 5.5 and I am ready to ring his neck. He is a mouthy little toot alot of days. I dont know what happened. We use to snuggle all day and give kissies and huggies openly. Now those times are becoming far and few between. Sometimes he isnt even very lovey at bedtime. He is just ornary (sp???) !!!

Yesterday it was talking back- he wouldnt get in the shower. Today it was talking back again- not going to pick up his things. I was so mad at him earlier I wanted to cry. In the end he DID pick up his things.

I certainly miss my baby. I dont want another one. But I do miss those sweet times, sweet voices, sweet smell... sniff sniff I guess I'll enjoy a break before the grandkids start arriving.
