The Lose No One Warns You About

When you find out you're pregnant and start telling people, it's an instant green light for everyone to tell you their advice. There is an overwhelming amount of information that floods towards you and they all contradict each other. But with all the advice that I received, no one warned me about the lose I would feel as my son grew. 

He will be 2 in January and there a trillion ways that I love and adore this rough and tumbled toddler. But in the near 2 years he has been in this world, he has been through so many changes that it's almost like he has been 100 different individuals already. It doesn't matter how many people tell you to take advantage of every second and moment you share, your child will never be that newborn, baby, infant, toddler again. Many have more kids but each one is still going to be different, as it's not about just having a newborn to snuggle but the individual child that you will never get to hold again.  Of course I rejoice in all of his achievements and growth. You love every fiber of his being but there will always be an ache of lose with each developmentle leap. 

Take advantage of your cell phone, take lots and lots of pictures and video of their little faces and adorable noises. Who cares if it takes up half the memory on your computer. Memories fade with time no matter how important they are and you won't regret having millions of pictures and video of your little one.
