Don’t listen to those “ oh just wait until they’re older 🙄” parents. Every stage of being a mother is hard, but every stage comes with immeasurably beautiful moments that will still stop you in your tracks. I miss every version of him I ever got to meet, but if I didn’t say goodbye to them, I’d never get to meet the next. It’s bittersweet but I promise more sweet than bitter. Mines nine now and he still thinks I hung the moon. No, I don’t get baby kisses or late night snuggles with feedings and I will always miss them. But now, now I get my favorite person sharing my favorite books, movies, and songs. I get to learn what he loves and share interest with him. He’s grown to have my nose and my chin that I always hated, but they’re so perfect on him. He’s taught me how to love myself better, he’s taught me patience, he makes me like myself more. It’s such a gift. So yes, cherish the now, yes, you WILL miss it, but I can’t wait for you to see what’s to come 🥹.
