I remember this book my mom read me when I was a kid.
It was something about a mom reminiscing on all of her child's "firsts" and, at the end, wishing she'd known when those "lasts" would be so that she could hold on to the moments just a little longer...
Ever since that book and before any life-changing milestone in my life, I try to pay special attention to when these "lasts" might be taking place.
This is just one way I cope with change, and it really helps me take joy in endings rather than look back with regret or missing them too much.
And I've been doing that a lot this past week.
I'm wondering if this is the last time I'll get my hair colored before Greyer arrives.
The last time I refill the soap dispenser (yes, soap is sentimental to me these days).
The last bag of dog food I buy...
The last house project I do...
The last night I stay up past midnight...
etc.
I know those are all little things, but with only 2 weeks left til my due date, I can't help but notice all the little things.
Every day, I become more and more excited that this could be the last time...
I am sooooo ready to meet this little boy of ours : )
P.S. Have you seen the latest J. Crew catalogue? Everything about it is YES. Check out this post by Jillian where she finds J. Crew items for less!
I totally did that too before I had Emily :)

What a sweet post. I don't have children, but I still really enjoyed reading this.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Filling the soap dispenser..haha awwwe...Your getting so close! How exciting!!
ReplyDeleteYou're super cute girl, as alwaysss!
ReplyDeleteI wish this is the last time we'd see you without a cute little Greyer in your hands.
Can't wait to meet the little guy via blogspot too. So excited :)
I'm so glad I read this! I wasn't even thinking about certain things being the last time before my son arrives. I've been so consumed with the "better get this done" mind set I haven't taken any time to be sentimental. Great way to start the weekend!
ReplyDeleteyou look so cute!! i can't believe you only have 2 weeks left..you look great! this is such a sweet post.
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing my blog post!! you are the sweetest.

You look beautiful in this outfit. I, too, think of the "lasts" as we contemplate baby-hood. Can't wait to (virtually) meet your lil man.

A heartwarming post :) I'm not a mom, but I've always been told that once you hold that little one in your arms, you don't mind about all t"he last times" anymore and look forward to every new "first time" you encounter :) xo
