I have resolved to call everything now the "new normal." Eli is precious by the way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009904154750408964.post-72372713016451826302008-08-29T08:30:00.000-07:002008-08-29T08:30:00.000-07:00Thanks so much Shelley!

I'm sorry that you are struggling, absolutely, but I am glad that I am not the only one fearful of this! I know that it will all be worth it and I look forward to the day when we have our own "little one", but I have always felt soo guilty for feeling afraid that I will miss my "former life". You are not the only one and I think that it is a testament to how great your marriage is that you would miss the times when it was just the two of you! B/c of those times, you have built such a strong foundation for Eli and God has blessed you with this for a reason! He knows you can handle it and will bless your life with so many more joyous and wonderful times and it will make the others pale in comparison!! When I have a baby, I hope that I can come to you and you can help me with my own issues b/c I know I'll have a lot, haha!! I think you are doing a wonderful job and seriously - Eli is getting cuter and cuter every day if that's even possible!!! What a sweetheart!!<BR/>Love, ShelleyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009904154750408964.post-88590642313632134812008-08-26T07:13:00.000-07:002008-08-26T07:13:00.000-07:00I think the lady you're talking about is Stephanie...I think the lady you're talking about is Stephanie Courtney...check it out.Gretahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06094669963750035224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009904154750408964.post-49498227270797884242008-08-25T10:38:00.000-07:002008-08-25T10:38:00.000-07:00oops I got cut off. . . . don't want to start all...oops I got cut off. <BR/>. . . don't want to start all over with another newborn!!<BR/>But you're right.

However, you really do gain back bits and pieces as they get older and start going to bed earlier, start getting more self-motivated and entertained, etc. THEN the problem is that you get selfish all over again for those things that you gained back and don't want toRachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10369662617248103139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009904154750408964.post-38628607168817850322008-08-25T10:23:00.000-07:002008-08-25T10:23:00.000-07:00Great post, Lindsay!
