I was getting so worked up over the end of mine and Sam's "special time." I remember once my husband said something to me about whether or not I might want to write a letter to Sam to read in the future to tell him about what we used to do together when it was just the two of us.

I cried because they didn't need me, I cried because I wouldn't have free time again for years, I cried because the mail was late. I cried for everything.

I staggered their daycare so I could set aside a day just for her each week (and one for him as well) and it was one of the best things I've done for her - gave her that Mommy/Pepper time back, a day to have me to herself each week.Velmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06425566563311066790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17779098.post-53304826904746649352008-04-14T19:15:00.000-05:002008-04-14T19:15:00.000-05:00I will never forget when I was in the hospital aft...I will never forget when I was in the hospital after having my 2nd child. Lying in that bed and seeing my firstborn, my original baby!, walk into the room tore my heart into pieces. All of a sudden, she looked so much older! I felt almost guilty about having another baby. But, as I type this, my 7 and 5 year old girls are playing with their dolls in their shared bedroom, whispering and giggling. So far, so good. <BR/><BR/>But, enjoy this time as much as you can.
