I confess that I am a HUGELY emotional girl! I wish I could blame it all on the pregnancy. However, I fear that it's just part of who I am. I remember laughing with Allyson about these 2 women at our church when we were little. You could bet that when it came time for the youth to sing in church or for some special something to happen...you could look over, and they were going to be crying.
Well, that's ME FOR SURE now! It's ridiculous! I cry happy, sad, excited, etc. It's pretty embarrassing!!
Anyway...
Today was a little ridiculous-even for me! Allyson called at lunchtime and asked what I was doing. I told her that I was researching little potty chairs and potty-training videos for Sawyer. (I read Potty Boot Camp this morning, so I was shopping around to find the best prices on things they recommended.)
ANYWAY...she starts talking about how she hates for him to grow up so fast. My initial reaction was, "Me too, but he's not-I'm just going to potty-train early." BUT THEN...I LOST IT! I sat on my front porch and boo-hooed uncontrollably about the fact that he is going to grow up way faster than I would like! Allyson on the other end was saying, "I hope you're laughing too!" -which I was laughing at myself-thinking about how ridiculous I would look if someone drove by!!
What a precious little doll-face God has given me! (I know all moms can relate!) Thank you, Lord, for my baby! I admit-It was really nice to have that reminder because earlier this morning, all I found myself wanting to do was put him in the bed for a nap to have some "me" time, but by the time nap time was over...I was ready to appreciate my time with my little boy! So, thanks for the reminder Auntie Al of how I need to appreciate everyday, b/c he really is getting big quickly! :)

I love you! When I saw the subject line I was for sure Sawyer was the one who had the meltdown. Wish I was there to cry with you. Don't worry, Eli will be here soon and you'll have your baby fix all over again. And then you'll blink your eyes and he'll smile, then he'll roll ovre and you'll say... "SLOW DOWN BABY!" I love you!
Don't worry, you're not the only one that feels ridiculous. I do all the time. If I see someone with a tear in their eye, then I'm going to start crying!
Just wait till little Eli gets here and Sawyer will seem so much bigger than you realized. That's how we felt with Ty. He looked so much bigger when Andrew arrived. Ben & I just look at him and talk about how big he is getting. He's not a baby anymore. Just call me next time you get depressed and we can cry together!
Love you!
I'm with you on this one!!! Talk about emotional...I'm the queen of emotional! And yes, sometimes I feel ridiculous! I get so frustrated with John Luke, but when I really stop and think about how precious he is and how fast he is growing, I feel ashamed for being ill with him!
I love that picture of Sawyer-Man! His chair is so cute!
On this subject...listen to the song "They Don't Make Years Like They Used To" on my playlist!!!!!!
Boy can I relate, my baby girl Allie turns 8 today. I was holding her and pretending like she was my baby and replaying the events of Her special day and she thought I was so silly.
My goodness how true it really is time does fly.
Micah said do you realize if you double her age she'll be driving. I immediately told him to hush didn't even want to go there!! Can't stand to even think like that. I can say that no matter how hard I try to stop the hands of time it's just not gonna happen.If it makes you feel any better though, As they grow so does the fun. We are having alot of fun at our house these days! Kelley
Almost forgot , how could I possibly, Tell Walker The Mancil/Garner family says Roll Tide Roll!!!
Ashley,
I am glad there is someone like you in your family. I am just like you with the emotions and wondered why Katie never looked at me like I was crazy in college. Hang in there and little Eli will be there before you know it. I am so jealous that you will have Katie and the girls there this weekend. I talked with Katie this morning b/c I needed my Katie Brown Braddock fix to cheer me up. She is as important as diet coke to me. :) I hope you and your sisters have an awesome, fun-filled weekend. Good luck on the potty training too!!!
You are not alone! I'm not the "crying" type, but here lately I find myself balling like a baby regularly...last week I was watching Extreme Home Makeover, crying like a baby when a funny commercial came on and made me laugh really hard, so I was doing this insane laugh histerically, crying like a baby and Riley Grace said, "What is wrong with you Mama?" All I could say is... "I have no idea!!!" Glad Russell wasn't in the room to witness this show!
I love you, Brown! Thanks for making my freshly applied mascara run down my face...:)
Don't worry sweet mama, you aren't alone! I am a very emotional person as well. Isn't is wondeful that God has blessed us with little ones that we can cry over at anytime!! Love you girl!!
