Catch Ya Later Pampers!

I don't know why I waited so long to get this post out.  I could blame it on the faulty iphone Blogger app that no longer works, or the long-standing excuse of the "workin' on the basement.  But honestly, I think it is because I was caught in a bit of a "is this really happening" situation.  What's happened, you ask?  Demps has been potty trained for the past couple of months.  She beat the boys.  I'm not paying attention to that of course, #girlsrule.  I think what has been hard for me is that we have had a little creature in our house, In DIAPERS, for the past 6 years.  And now all of the sudden I don't have to carry a diaper bag.  I don't have to harass Russell about ordering diapers, or to delay the Amazon order because WE were dripping in diapers.  It's a whole new stage that we have embarked on, and as much as I am excited about it....I feel weird about it.

This was all too real for me this past weekend.  I took the boys over to my friend Julia's son's birthday party.  I walked in and babies were everywhere!  There was a baby eating from a bottle, a two week old baby. a baby learning to walk. a baby learning to roll over, a momma pumping, and a momma talking about how to handle the thought of two kids.  I sat in the corner for a second and watched this whole scene play out.  I was the mom with the OLD kids.  I was past all of these amazing little milestones.  And I know how this may seem dramatic, but truly....I don't want to forget this moment of thinking.....what the frick just happened?????  How did my kids grow up so darn fast....how did we all survive that?  Three kids in 3 1/2 years happened...to us.  And then POOF...no one is in any GOSH DARN diapers.  EVERYONE has cute underwear now.  I haven't operated a pump in YEARS.  Crazy.  So freaking crazy.

Anyways.....we are alive and well and about to get back to this sweet little blogger, maybe when our kids quit growing.
Love,
Momma
