To be bawling my eyes out?

[artimitateslife]

My beautiful pfb is going to be 1 this weekend and I've just been looking through my thousands of photos of her from when she was seconds old to now and I can't stop crying!

Someone tell me this is normal? I bloody love her so much. Are there any other soppy mums here or is it just me?

I'm ok with birthdays, and photos. It's having to put away clothes when they get too small that gets to me! Little socks. Little coat. The little baby grows. Washed for the last time and put in a bag ...

Yep that got to me as well I'm a wreck!

It's times like these where I feel like I want a 2nd but I'm not allowed.

They really do grow up so fast.

Wait til she starts school, I've only just composed myself and she started on the 2nd of September??

Wait until you leave them at uni. I feel like I've been dumped.

Awwww. When they don't fit on your lap is a bummer too.

But wait, what - not allowed another child? What do you mean?

Why aren't you 'allowed' any more?
That's an odd statement TBH.

I'm packing up my house at the moment and I keep coming across bits and pieces my now, 17 YO DD did at school.
Miss those days so much.
She is still a mummies girl though but not sure how much longer that will last.

My son is just about to go off on a gap year.

It was only last week ( or so it seems) that he was asleep on my lap.

I do sympathize, but I like mine a bit bigger. Now that they are at school and giving me plenty of lip I feel like we're in the best years of our lives.

That poem used to get me too until I realised how lucky we are that we get to do these things for one last time without realising because our child is growing up rather than for far sadder reasons. Now I see last times because of growing up as positive.

I'm with weary though! I love that chat and joking around you get as they grow.
