DON'T CRY BECAUSE IT"S OVER...

SMILE BECAUSE IT HAPPENED!

I recently came across this quote and it changed my perspective on my life changes. As you know, I have have had a difficult time adjusting mentally and emotionally to the idea of having a second child. Mostly because I feel like I'm going to miss out on something with Mason. What it really boils down to is that I don't like change. I get comfortable and set in a routine that works. You know that saying, if it's not broke don't fix it? I live by that! Kinda contradicts our idea of having four kids though.

So anyway, when I read this I was like huh, yeah I guess so. In the recent past (like the last eight months) every time I think about the change that is about to happen it brings tears to my eyes. Selfish! What I need to be is grateful for the moments that I have experienced. 18 months of healthy, happy moments, the majority of which make me SMILE. If there are tears now, they are there out of pure and utter happiness. Thank you Mason for making mommy so happy and thank you in advance Zoe for all the happiness you're about to bring us. It all just makes me SMILE!
