Growing and Painful

So as my little girl was playing today I realized how much she has grown in the last 3 years.
I remember when we found out we were getting this blessing from God. Those 2 pink lines where so exciting for us. We had no idea how much!

It is painful knowing she is growing so fast, and so rewarding.
Knowing in the back of my head we aren't able to have another makes me want to guard, and protect every move she makes. I tear up thinking she is going to grow up some day and leave us. I know that's what they are suppose to do.

I read these posts on social media, about needing mommy time, getting away from their crabby kids, or pawning the children off for more weekends than not and think, you will miss when they are little, don't wish for it to be gone.

So tonight when my little asked "can I lay on your leg and snuggle with you" right before bed I cherished every moment.

I am being a little sentimental tonight. Love my girl, and also thought we would have more littles to love around our house. If you have 1 or 20 cherish them and don't wish your time away.

I know time is needed but don't wish it away.
