Though Connor starting preschool is weird and hard for me, it isn't too hard. It more is the realization that I am giving up control of my child. Up until this point of his life, I have controlled (or tried to!) what he does, who with and when. Now for 6 hours a week, someone else will be doing this. Kind of weird.
But the kicker was the night before Connor started preschool, I found Isla out of her crib.
And next week Isla will be the same age Connor was when I gave birth to her. These kids are getting all sorts of grown up on me. And to be honest, I thought I would be pregnant again by now. Alright God, I'm trusting you know what's right for my family! But that just adds to the emotions I am feeling. If I was a crying woman, I would probably be crying this week. Alas, I am not.
Instead, I will try not to mope around thinking about my kids getting all grown up on me because the reality is, I totally did it to my mom too. Sorry about that mom!
"Alright God, I'm trusting you know what's right for my family!" Ugh... this one is so hard. I just have to keep telling it to myself over and over. I know it to be true, but still so hard.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to comment on the same part of the post. I didn't know you guys were trying again (good too, that's kind of personal info!) but I'm sorry it's been a struggle, emotional or otherwise. I hope God will give you opportunities to enjoy the two kids you have, and give you peace & acceptance about what is to come.
DeleteI'm glad you are my friend Brittany and know you have been in the same place. I remember how excited I was when I found out you were expecting E and can't wait until that is me.
