Conversations...
I love how me and Cecilia, (a friend at church whose baby is a month younger than Jakob) sat in the nursing room yesterday and discussed our baby's constipation and pooping situations...I adore being a mommy :) If you'd rather not hear about Jakob's poops or his drooling, or something cute he's done then you'd better just pass by me, I've waited a long time to talk about this stuff.

That is too funny, but I know I will be the same way. I already cannot talk about anything but Noah! You are right you have waited a long time to talk about all that entails sweety Jakob!!! I hope the packing is going quickly for ya!! Love U!!
Isnt it funny how your children become your whole life?I agree there is nothing better than caring for and loving your kids.I am sure it is extra sweet when you have waited for Jakob:)
Yay for children becoming your whole life!!! I know many "modern" women would cringe at that statement. But, I wholeheartedly believe that is exactly what is missing in our families and our society as a whole these days! You girls grew up in homes where you were your moms' whole lives and I am so glad you are passing that on to your children!! At the begining it may seem to some like you are "giving up" way too much. I find that very sad. In our case it only lasted 24 years... a VERY small price to pay for some well adjusted people! lol! Seriously, we see and counsel SO many families who did it the other way around and passed their children off for someone else to care about and raise and then they suddenly wake up one day and wonder what happened! (no time or space to list all the gorey details that result from that) SO sad. To me (and from what I have seen) NO career, No selfish pursuit, NO "perfect body" is worth giving up raising your own child!! A woman who is going to be a mother really needs to put her whole heart and self into it to be successful. I have NEVER seen it work any other way. And, if that means stretch marks, gaining a few pounds, putting your life on hold for who knows how long, giving up a chance at some other career, becoming that woman who only talks about her baby and poop and nursing etc. than GREAT! I just cannot fathom a woman who would give up her family and the opportunity to raise (totally influence and mold!) a child for any other pursuit!!! uh... i think the same goes for a husband/wife relationship too but that is a whole other post! :) SO proud of you girls!!
