Thanks Aubrey



I have mentioned this before, but since I have been pregnant, I have been a complete bag to say the least. I find it really hard to be rational and calm and my poor, sweet, innocent little ones take the brunt of it. When it comes to my kids, I am usually a very patient mom, but as of late... not so much. Just the littlest things bug me and put me over the edge. I hate that I am like this and every day I convince myself that I will do better. But I don't. I've been feeling pretty down about it to be honest. It's a good thing I have sweet little Aubrey around to lift me up when I am down. She helped me feel a little better by something she said as I was taking her potty.

Aubrey: "You're a good mom, mommy."
Me: "Oh, Aubrey, thank you. I really don't feel like I am lately."
Aubrey: "You're the best mom! I love you. You're the best."

What would I do without her around?

She is so cute! I am a grouchy pregnant person as well. It is really hard, but a common problem, I think. it would seem that in some ways, kids understand. :)

I love the bird balcony post. :)

Don't you just love kids! They say and do the darndest things when you are feeling terrible and it makes you feel so much better. I recently read a book about a woman who only had one child and who she quit nursing sometime before the age of 2 (I can't remember when exactly). She said if she had known he would be her only child she would have kept nursing him longer. I try and remember that with Josh when things are going tough. If he is to be my only child I want to enjoy every minute I have with him, even if its cuddling with him in bed for an hour or more to get him to go to bed...hmmm, I just re-read what I just wrote about cuddling, that may change someday soon...but as for now I am just enjoying every minute possible!
Anyway, I got your message the other day but got home late and then was gone all day Saturday and am just to tired and lazy to pick up the phone. I am gone tomorrow morning but will call in the afternoon! Talk to you soon!

Love her smile. That is how Bryce smiles right now too. You are a great mom. We all have our bad days and like you said, just keep on trying each day to be better. That is what I strive for.
